Sorry to hear this. Please re-read Iowa Fun's post on page one and keep it next to your bible. Live by those rules and in 20 years your child will remember that "dad"
never talked bad about mom and more than likely he wont be able to say the same thing the otherway around. I went thru it, its not that bad and dont ever let them use it as an excuse for gettin in trouble!
As for that plot in Maine? This would be a summer/winter vacation spot I assume? You will want to get as many days as possible with the kid, it will benifit you and him!
Good luck, We wish the best for you in the future
(BTW) Get yourself a dog or two and forgo that woman idea!
10,20 or even 50 years from now! Dont (IMO) want to start over again twice. And please dont say, "this one is different" Heard that too many times until about 5 years after the wedding.

Maybe it's just me, but now that I have a kid of my own, she's just the coolest thing on the planet. I even forego using the tractor so I can spend time with her. The lawn gets long when I do that, but it's about priorities.
So you don't have a tractor anymore. You do have a kid to spend time with. Don't spoil him but spend time with him. Sometimes just hanging out with dad while fishing from the shoreline is a cool way to kill some hours. Or even something as lame as playing catch in the yard or a park. Think of all the things you can teach him like auto repair. Maybe some simle woodworking like making a birdhouse. Lawnmower repair.
A neighbor of mine is going through issues with his son after the divorce (similar situation to yours). His son hangs out with a bunch of single parent kids whose mothers let them do whatever they want whenever they want. His kid complains about his dad's rules. His response is that at least his son has a dad that cares about what happens to him. Key being a dad that cares and wants to spend time with him.

It is very simple what children want, they want their parents and family. They will take them any way then can get them. Just listen to their laughter as they do play catch or any thing with their parents. They want to know their parents love each other even if not together. They want to know they are loved. They want to know you will be there for them regardless. They want you to be their father or mother. They want to be the child. They want to be hugged, loved and told you love them. They want to see you smile just because of them and nothing else.
Most of what any of us hold precious in memories from our childhood has little to do with money, more to do with the time our parents had for us and making the effort to include us in what ever they were doing.
Listen to the Lord and your heart. You will do just fine.
God Bless

brokenarrow, iowa and kt,
Amen to all you said
well, maybe except teaching my son auto-repair - I think already at this stage of his development he knows more about auto repair than I do.
