No, it's not right. Stick to your guns. It sounds like the poor kid needs someone impartial he can rant and rave to, and has chosen you - that shouldn't be part of anything else.

No it's not right. Keep well out of it. Say you can't save the messages.

YANBU - it would be a huge betrayal of trust for the child. He needs somewhere safe to rant and rave.

I agree you shouldn't pass them on to your friend, but I would save them just in case one parent falls out with you and insinuates you are taking sides and trying to influence the child involved.

Awful situation, their son is lucky to have an adult to chat to who he trusts.

Poor kid, how sad to feel in the middle like this.

I don't know situation obviously but can't they come to an agreement such as 50:50 access or something? It must be awful for them going for an access weekend and parent saying, no you aren't going home you are staying here with me. How upsetting and unsettling for them.

Why are the parents doing this? Do they genuinely believe the other is a bad parent? Want to get even/upset the other? Can'tbear being apart from dcs?

They need to come to some sort of solution that's for sure.

don't save the messages at all. you will find yourself in the middle of a nasty family dispute and you don't want that.

be supportive to the child but don't betray their trust.
