Hi, looking for some advice. Long backstory but I am now nearly finally divorced after a long protracted battle. We have a court order for finances but have "informally" reached an agreement over DS. The trouble I have is that ex is very controlling and makes all sorts of arrangements for DS without informing me. DS sees his dad alternate weekends and I night during the week, so I am primary carer particularly when it comes to dealing with day to day and school. Ex receives all details from school, attends any event etc so he is NOT excluded from DS daily life.
However we were asked to arrange a dyslexic assessment so whilst I started to research locally who might be appropriate, ex arranges an appointment and I only find out by chance. DS told me tonight that Daddy wont take him to the bi-monthly dyslexic childrens group that I had arranged for him to attend as he has found a better one (it seems as if this is a tutor). Group is a social support group for the kids and it is 6 sessions a year. How do I get ex to stop crossing the boundary?
He is currently criticising the art class DS attends and that I can laugh about as DS loves it. But he is so easily influenced by his dad (age 8) I am worried he will stop going. I am not trying to push ex out of DS life, but do feel that he is gearing up for a court battle and this is all about trying to prove that he is the better parent. If I could trust that the court would see through this posturing I would relax more.
