I have a 17 and 16 year old. Been split since they were 4/5. I am struggling with so many issues regarding them, they are good kids deep down. However their father is their "mate" letting them do most things without question. The battle is a constant as I am seen as the " strict/unfair/unreasonable" parent. We have fairly strict rules but nothing major. The latest situation has devastated me. The father is allowing them to have a motorbike, borrowing money off their grandma. My fears are not listened to and when I say anything I am ignored. I am at a loss. They were meant to come to me yesterday for a week and not come, no call or text but they spent the day with my stepson out. I am just finding it one huge battle. I guess I am reaching out here for advice on how to cope with a man who disregards anything the boys mum feels or thinks. And on that note all I can say is I feel unloved, disrespected and not cared about.
