Teenage son living with dad

[Jules301]

Help, my 15 year old son had gone to live his dad after I stopped him going on his xbox for hours, I did not really want to send him to his dad's, as his dad is very controlling, a racist and not a very nice person, even tho my ex is all of this things, I've never stopped my son from seeing his dad, when my son started treating me like his father used to treat me I was worried but my son insisted he was gonna live with his dad so I let him go thinking after a couple of weeks he would be back, as we have always been really close . It's been 5 weeks now and both my son and ex are ignoring me and not responding to my texts or phone calls, Im worried my ex has brain washed him and turned him against me, help what can I do ?

That's really sad to hear. I would maybe write a letter or email, tell him you're upset he's not responding to you. But you would be happy to hear from him when he's ready to talk. Make it friendly, non-accusatory and give him the opening to chat to you.
