Sorry for the long post but can anyone offer any advice? I was with my ex partner for 5 years. He cheated, controlled me, treated me awfully but nevertheless was always a good dad. I left him June last year, we was living with my ex’s mother at the time and I had to leave because they was pretty much bullying me. I was homeless for 3 months and slept on my friends couch until I got the keys for our new home. The whole duration of this break up he has brainwashed our son (5 years old) he spends 4 nights with me and 3 nights with his dad. My son cries when he comes to me and his dad has always said how much of a bad mother I am. I try everything I can to make him happy but he won’t drop wanting to live with his dad more. Which I don’t want, the things he comes home and tells me his dad has said to him are just awful. He’s not aloud to speak about me, his dad has said to him he’s really sad when he comes to my house which I’m certain is emotional blackmail. Lots has happened but anyway, I’ve got to attend court in a week because my ex wants full custody. Any advice for a mum who is petrified of loosing her son :(
