3 year old won't visit Dad

I don't know what to do about this. I have 3 kids and am divorced from their father. I live with my partner and have done for nearly 2 years now.

My 3 year old doesn't want to go and stay at his dad's any more. He says he is bored there and he has had screaming tantrums, run away to hide and refused to go with him. Until recently I have made him go but I can't bear to watch him get so upset any more. Being 3 he finds it hard to articulate his feelings but I know from experience that all their dad does is plonk them in front of a dvd and the little chap hates that.

Does anyone have any advice? I have tried to get his dad to do more interesting things but he just ignores my help and refuses to acknowledge there is a problem.

What does your ex plan for his kids to do? Gave you asked your boy what he would like to do with dad. You probably know that what men like to do is no fun to anyone else so it could be just that. Another possibility could be that your boy doesn't feel safe with your ex. Anything suspicion of that yould need calm, thorough discussion.
