Re:
Thanks CCT... my main concern is that they could do the unthinkable and refuse to see me ever again. Although they don't have to do that.. they have both made it clear their lives will be in Australia, 12,000 miles away.. so in truth they won't see much of me, or him. It is what it is.

Thanks Naut.. it's so strange.. he had no problem at all with my staying at my partner's place last night after going out.. he was quite happy to stay here on his own and has been really helpful today.. borrowed 'muscle' for lugging bags of compost and manure from the nursery.

Re: maybe, just maybe son will come round towards your sweetheart
I hoped that too Kabu, but he's showing no signs... it is lovely to have him here... just this one difficulty

I think telling them straight that you will not have him excluded was definitely the right thing to do. Your son seems to have 'got' it - sooner or later your daughter will too, one would hope...

Yeah, those types of situations can be tricky. My younger sister is actually going through something similar right now. Her and her husband of 28 years are in the process of getting divorced, and she's already started seeing another man. My wife and I just met him this past weekend ( he seems very nice ), but my sister has four children ( three girls and a boy ). According to her, they've already accepted this new man into their lives! I guess stranger things have happened! I hope your situation goes the same way . . .

I suppose the kids may feel a little embarrassed, but I am sure they will get over it. You should have by now the experience to judge character, rather than impulsive gestures.
Good luck.

without the influence of his Sister who is obviously her Dad's champion. Besides Son must miss you ...Oh if only they could tell us their real feelings as they did when they were little.
