Any other ideas on this one- involving my son's father, my ex?

Question

So, my son has lived with his father and stepmom solely for two years, due to the financial costs of movng off of Long Island and relocating, we are two hours apart.

I have entered the two home in which they live/d, although I'm never very comfortable.

We borke up about twelve years ago, and I packed up most of his stuff for him so he could get it when he returned periodically (it was his aun'ts apartment).

So, all of these years later, and me more or less comfortabel with his surrogate mom as my illness and finances ahve prevente dme for being there, anyway,

he's doing well enough...

I have this dream where I go to drop him off with them, and they ignore me a bit, and I go aroudn collecting my stuff that is in their house. And they look at me, especially the stepmom, see me, but are busy talking to each other and carrying on their lives...

And I'm taking my stuff with me.

Mind you, it's been about 5 or 6 years since I could even think I still wanted him back or anything...

Answer 1

A little strange.

I think your dream is just reflecting on how you feel uninvolved in your sons life.

Maybe your jealous that his step-mom is more involved?

Or you might envy that your ex has started a life with a women and you aren't married yet after 12 years?
