xp and I split 6mths ago, it's not exactly been amicable, and since we agreed contact he's let the boys down virtually every other weekend. It's always at the last minute, after making promises that he can't keep.
Before Christmas I went to see ds1's teacher to see how he was doing at school, she said he was doing great, and there had been no effect on him whatsoever at school.
Recently, however I've been getting increasingly concerned about his progress, I feel he's dropping behind where he is capable of being at. I was going to go in and see his teacher about it, but as parents evening was coming up, decided to wait. His report came home at the start of the week, and was all good, I was happy with it, although was still goig to bring up my concerns at parent evening. Parents evening comes on Thursday, I went in, and his teacher started off by saying "well, he's not really coping with it all is he?" She went on to tell me that he's struggling at schol with his emotions, and can be particularly aggressive a lot of the time. He's aggressive towards all members of staff (except her), and gets very angry at the slightest thing.
To be fair to her, she was really understanding of the situation, I explained to her how he regularly gets let down by his dad, and she said that she sees this in him, I'm just really angry though that I've never been approached about his behaviour, I've been left to think that everything is ok with him at school, and that was the one place for him that was 'normal'.
I don't know how I can help him especially as so much is out of my control.
