Her choice is to make seeing her child the focus of her life or give up and hope he comes to her someday.

I had a friend whose ex had money. His family had money. She had no education and no job. Her son was the only grandchild and her exes parents wanted him.

She had visitation but they badmouthed her so much her son became alienated.

They all lied about her in court and money talks. I hope he seeks her out some day and gets her side of the story.
