3 year old son acting strange and doesn't want to see his dad

[Ethansmum0511]

Hi, i'm new to the site so sorry if I waffle or this is the wrong place.

My son came home from his dads on Sunday very subdued and really not his self he was really quiet and he wouldn't even talk to my mum who he idolises. So I was very suspicious as for want of a better word my ex's family are very strange and I know that my ex's childhood was very turbulent with his dad hitting him with objects and the fact his dad is a naturist and walks round the house with no clothes on affected him.

Anyway it came out that my lo was left with my ex's dad to walk the dog in the fields on Sunday after I have asked on numerous occasions for him not to be left with his parents on his own. Lo now doesn't want to see his dad and really doesn't want to go to Nanny and Grandads house.

Am I over reacting and blowing things out of proportion thinking that something happened?

Really worried about lo and don't know what to do any advice would be great

So sorry that your DS is so obviously upset. I haven't got any experience but didn't want you to go unanswered.

Hopefully, someone will be along soon

with the back story , i'd say talk to your gp and see if your son can go to a therapist who works with dolls and art and do not make him go to be with people who have had this effect . Something happened. If you do not protect your child, who will ?

Exactly what amarmai said. You have to protect your child who seems traumatised by something that happened to him.
