There is something about this woman that sends up a red flag in my mind. There are times in our life we should use our heads and not our hearts.
I'm not trying to make you mad or hurt your feelings, but you don't sound as if the little boy means very much to you. Have you bonded with him at all? Fur Boys are cool!
$1000 is far to much to be asking for that female. You could use that money and spoil the little boy you have!
I hope whatever makes you happy happens for you.
