Me and my ex split up 6 years ago and since then we've shared the parenting (amicably) of our DS8. We live close by and do our best to minimise disruption for him... however... he's recently developed signs of anxiety (recurrent worry mainly) that's not making him happy. I feel he should spend more time based at my house so he feels he has a 'base'. I just think this kind of contact arrangement could really help him. His dad could take him to park after school and drop him after (maybe.) I'm not suggesting he doesn't stay with his dad but that it's reduced from about 60/40 to 80/20.
But I have no idea how he would react seeing as he has been used to going there more regularly.
Both of us have new partners (v stable) and children and he has step brothers. Anyone with experience of changing contact for the sake of the child - would be really grateful to hear your thoughts.
