please, help! it is 2am and I still cant sleep as don't know what to do with my son's behaviour. He is being rude and cheeky and disrespectful to me but when he is with his father he is a complete wimp and cant say a word against. His father was not involved in his care and upbringing when we were married (which is first 4 years of his life). We got divorced when he was 4. He never was close to his father-always was mummy's boy. Have no idea what is happening now and why I am getting the wrong end of the stick. have no idea how to change this situation before it will get worse. Has anyone dealt with this before? Absent father being idolised and devoted mother being treated as a piece of....?
