Think positive, at least you see him every weekend, which is excellent both for him and for you!
My 19 year old Daughter has not seen her Father in 10 years, he is truly missing out, and will always miss out! Now for good, she does´nt want to see him!
You are doing the right thing, try and go to all his School Events etc. It will be FINE, I can promise you this!

I feel bad for you. Here's a man who wants to be with his child, as so many other men on here do, and all he gets are weekends. I guess you have to be grateful for that. If you give him love and quality time on the weekend he will know that it comes from your heart.

I've been a Single Dad so I understand...You are missing out. Maybe, if you've had a continuing relationship with your son, he'd want to come live with you. First, try discussing with mom and see if she's amenable. If she's not, get ready for what might be a fight. Be sure that your life is beyond reproach. Gather your friends and funds, find a lawyer skilled in such a fight and make your move.
Good luck. You have a fight ahead but it's now a fight that Dads far more often win than 30 years ago. This can be done.

The OP never said he was NOT allowed to see his son any other time other than weekends. Possibly, weekends are the only convenient time he, the father, has.

You said you broke up with your girlfriend 10 years ago. You say your son is 8 years old. You do the math......

Wow, are you sure you really really understand what he/she wants.
Families love each other no matter what. It must be something else. I recommend family counseling or listening therapy to gain a more compassionate understanding of everyone's needs.
Best of luck, I know they love you and eachother and will come around if they feel safe and loved to.

After my break up I saw my sons most but not every weekend.
Now they both work with me and I'm with them six days a week.
Their mother sees them maybe once every six months.

If you have him on weekends and his mom has him on weekdays, that means that you get to have all the fun time and she gets to send him to school, make him do his homework, wash his clothes, make him eat his vegetables and all that fun stuff. Roll that in your pipe and smoke it.

I can complete understand where you're coming from. It sucks not being there for the child. Just be grateful that you get to see your son.
Also since you see him on the weekends you can get away with spoiling him and then have his mother deal with it. My advice is before he goes back to his mother give him a puppy and an expresso.
