Hi guys. I'm asking a question on here because I'm worried about my partner. We both left our marriages over 3 years ago. We live together and share childcare of her, now, 10 ye old son, with his dad. We work 5 days then off for 5 and have her son during our time off.
The problem we're having is that when he's with us we have the usual trials and tribulations but overall he's fine with us. Doesn't refer much to his dad and is generally fine. Half an hour before his dad comes to pick him up he visibly changes personality. When his dad arrives to pick him up he instantly turns on his mum and doesn't want to know her. The same thing happens when his dad collects him from his grandmother's as well.
He loves his dad so there's no problem with him not wanting to go. It's almost as if he doesn't want anyone to know he's had a nice time anywhere other than his dad's.
Its tearing a hole in my partners heart and I don't know how to fix it.
Does anyone else have experience of this?
