I just don't know what to do and it is making me very sad. I split up from his dad last year and his dad moved out in March. His dad is one of those types who spends his life feeling sorry for himself - I initiated the split and it was definitely the right thing. He made me thoroughly miserable but son is so angry with me and feels terribly sorry for his father (daughter has said that ex makes a big play of this all the time when they are with him).
I am trying to stay the consistent parent but I am finding it very hard as son completely blames me for the split and I am not sure it is a good idea to explain rationally why that isn't actually the case (son is only 11, I don't expect him to grasp adult relationships).
Does anyone have any tips?
