Hexagram 18.5.6 » 48: Will I bring ny 12yr son to a Game Jam?

I want to bring my 12 year old to a Game Jam that is on this Saturday & Sunday.
A Game Jam is like a hackathon for game developers, where people come together and join teams, create a game in 24 hours.

It is not quite my area, i prefer hackathons or startup weekends, but i do find game dev interesting. I think it would do my son a lot of good, and that e would really enjoy it.
However, the issue is complicated by the fact that myself and his father are seperated. We have a shared parenting arrangement that usually works quite well, but he is dropping the ball on things lately & not answering his phone or communicating.

I asked Yi "What about bringing S to the Game Jam? Will it work? "
Got hexagram 18.5.6, relating hexagram 48

Quote:

Line 5
'Ancestral father's corruption.
Use praise.'
This sounds like the situation with his father right now! He has missed a few important meetings re S's education and support (we suspect S has high functioning ASD), and has not been making appointments or booking summer camps for him.

Line 6
'No business with kings and lords,
Honouring what is highest is your business.'
Does this cast mean that I won't be able to bring S to the Game Jam because his father will mess it up?
Or that he will create barriers (I have to go pick my son up in the car early, etc )?

Or that i need to be very patient and spiritual here, or get a complete overview, micromanagement plan the whole thing? (Thats exhausting)
I am trying to bring my eldest son, his 20yr old brother along too; I think we could make a mini team, or even on different teams, we will have a great day that S will remember all his life.

Anyone have advice, thoughts about this cast?
Will going ahead with it solve some problem re his Dad? Or is it just saying that his Dad is having problems with depression again?

I felt quite disappointed to see this result initially, but now i am wondering if it is less about the game jam, more about the situation with his father. There are other problems there too, my son doesn't want to go to his Dads sometimes, and would prefer to stay with me.
