Just returned from month long European road trip with my 21 year old son.

[Puffin StuffParticipant 24979]

After raising my son from 9 months old by myself and him turning on me and leaving to go live with his mom at 14, then a slow make up from age 17, he now turned 21 and our relationship was stable but not close. He lives in Cali and I live in NY.

So, after only seeing him for a day in the last two years I tried something and invited him for a month long road trip across northern Europe.

We went to Amsterdam, Brussels, Gent, Norway (because my son is a death metal head), Oslo, Bergen, Tromso then back to Oslo of a heavy metal concert and on to Prague.

We had no tickets and just a backpack each full of clothes.

It turned out we had a blast. We saw the sights by day, searched for vegan restaurants for my picky son at night and then on to live music venues, folk, jazz and rock. My son is 21 and into Viking history so we spent days searching for 8th century castles and torture equipment.

At night we saw a lot of metal concerts. The one in Prague was huge with heavy flame throwers. It was too hot for me but I did hold my own at the edge of the mosh pitt.

I think it made a change in our relationship seeing that we could get along without a fight for a whole month sharing a room.

It will definitely be a life long memory I will cherish.

With no one to poison our relationship we were happy as clams.

Wait for the future, mothers poisoning lasts only so long.

We have formally forgiven each other for past behavior and I’m looking forward to the kind of relationship I was hoping for when he was a sparkle in my eye.

Sounds like you finally got your son back after all those years. Glad to hear it.

Did you experience any “vibrant cultural” enrichment, while you were there?

Huzzah – thanks for sharing! Sorry to hear about your difficulties Blade; guess that’s why we’re here…

We just don't realize life's most significant events while they're happening. Back then, I thought, "Well, there'll be other days". I didn't realize that that was the only day. - "Moonlight" Graham

At least that is better now but the fact is i would not go against your Son for turning on especially if Mom lived out in California (a place he probably dreamed of, wanted to see for himself and have the experience of). He was probably thinking of LA, San Francisco, Theme parks and Hollywood so it is not the biggest deal.

But also at least (of course i say at least alot) there appears to be no punishment of your son nor any use of the secluded area for your revenge for him being a Traitor for turning on you.

Just an east coast asshole who likes to curse, If you get offended by words like fuck, cunt, shit, piss, bitch or any racial slurs then you just scroll down.

I’m elated for you and your son! There is nothing better than a bond between father and son and the fact that your wife would try and destroy that is horrific and all too familiar due to the evil nature of women.

Hopefully you guys will have many more trips together and stay connected.

Congrats!

ENJOY !!

Hopefully, a sweet lil snowflake doesn’t come along in his life to f~~~ him up.

Of course. Men are designed to be happy, women miserable. And then the women share…

Congratulations on a great adventure. Now to see if it sticks.

Hardcord Puff, thanks man. Very moving. Rock n Roll

Happy for you, Puffin! Stay strong for your son, and keep being the kind of man you’d like him to admire.
