DSS7's mum told my SO today that she doesn't want him to contact her about issues relating to DSS anymore - because he doesn't agree with her and decides on his own how to deal with a situation.
She accused him of going behind her back when he arranged counselling for DSS after she had said that DSS "didn't need it" and that he would be going behind her back if he went ahead and replaced the school shoes that are too small for him.
I don't think she means "going behind her back" because he's always made it clear to her what he intends to do - but she has told him that she doesn't want to know and not to try and discuss things with her anymore!
Can this be achieved? I realise it is a world away from the ideal situation that is "best for the children" but I'm struggling to see how it could work in practice - does anyone actually do this?
DSS is with us from Thursday after school to Monday morning every other week and half of all school holidays.
