I split with my ex 5 years ago. We have 3 boys, now aged 16, 13 and 10.
My ex took the split particularly badly and became a very nasty abusive 'victim'!! He has, from day one bad mouthed to the kids, to the point I have had no contact with my eldest for the last two years since our matrimonial home was sold. (I had to take him to court to force the sale). Ex told my son I didn't love him(son) and was after all the money etc...
I am now losing my 13 year old. I understand from my 10 year old, that Ex continues to bitch about me and apparently, my 13 year goes back to Dad and tells him if he's argued or upset me whilst at mine. Since the split we have had 50/50 co parenting with the youngest two on a week on /off basis.
Last year my 13 year old 'decided' he only wanted to come to me every other weekend. Obviously I was devastated and went to court to stop this, but the judge decided my 13 year old could choose what he wanted!!!!!! The fact that since the change, he was hanging out every night and his attendance at school had gone from 98% to 86% didn't factor into it..
Anyway..... last weekend he was so rude, disrespectful and argumentative that I turned off his playstation as punishment. He just phoned his dad who picked him up within half hour and he was gone a day early. He has now text to say he won't come at all this time, which is the second time over the past couple of months. As we have been to court and have a document to say he should come, where do I stand??
