Ok i just need a moment here. So last summer, the mother of my teen son's best friend went into hospice, and she had no other family (or so we thought) so we took him in. long story short - i got custody of him, she passed away, and we all now regard him as one of our own.
fast forward to now. i've since learned he has a grandfather who didn't know about him. the man had disowned his daughter (the teen's mother) decades ago. I'm meeting him today in about an hour.
I'm a nervous wreck. I'm usually a very positive person, but my mind is just racing with all the bad things that could happen. *insert scream of panic here*
