I’m proud of my son and his accomplishments
My wife and I got a divorce when our son was 12 years old.
- My wife moved away and I did not get to see my son very often.
My wife was not the best mother and our son had a couple of problems when he was a teenager. He ended up in a lot of trouble and had to serve community service when he got busted for vandalism. A month after he was done with his community service sentence, he was caught up in a burglary. My wife was worried that our son was going to end up in prison, so she called me. We arranged for our son to move in with me. I didn’t know how things were going to be, because I had not seen my son in 5 years. I thought that it was going to be difficult for the two of us to get along. It was good for my son to be away from his friends and his mother. I saw a whole different child after he moved in with me. He started going to school every single day and he stayed out of trouble. He graduated from high school and started a technical school program at the correspondent school. In 14 months he managed to earn a degree in HVAC science. He got his Nate certification and now works as an HVAC installation tech for a huge commercial and residential service company. My wife tries to take all of their credit for sending our son to live with me, but Jack did all of the hard work on his own.
