Hi,

I'm not sure what to do about my son and my ex.

I have realized since wednesday my son playing me and his off against each other.

My son is 10 he got ADHD and use to go every weekend from saturday to monday to his dad's but now like it's all changed apparently according to my ex he goes there does not talk to anyone after couple of hours he wants to go home.
My ex lives with his girlfriend and two kids and he use to go there fine at the beginning. My ex and I would argue each weekend about something or another which I stopped reacting to. Then all of a sudden I got a phone from ex saying my son was causing issues. Why he giving people dirty looks. It was like each weekend there was a problem. Then now he don't want to go his saturday to monday morning he gets tired as they travel over 1 hr and a half. So thought okay that makes sense he comes back really acting up from being there. I did think something was going on there and this why he behaving bad. Think it's he over tired.
Anyway Wednesday his dad cancelled and collecting saturday apparently event in pub they live at he would not be able to get in. My ex said he come see him sunday. My son was like no point he can get me after this event was not happy. I told my ex this he saying no point and he rang tried talking to him on the phone and my son would not answer so he said we leave it until next week.
My son went mad I want to kill myself at school this and that happening. Got his dad to talk to him and he coming sunday. Then he called thursday missed his call. I said to my mum weird he calling maybe he worried or he wants to cancel sunday. I get a call friday he not coming after all sunday he was upset but went quiet he was playing cards with my mum at the time. So I also was told by his dad he not having him new years. My ex had him christmas last year and this year was my turn for christmas. But he not having him new year so my son went off on one this time my dad don't care about me went on about school. My ex realized the pattern now so did I. He gets upset his dad cancelled. I should I did record my son because stuff he was saying was not good sent to his dad. Which upset my ex and it did me too.

Last night he called I did ignore my ex to be honest was annoyed with him but then he messages he was going to come down sunday. But soon as I rang him he not coming just he upset what he said and all this him not wanting to go there. I said he excited to go. According to his dad no he wants to go home he only wanted to see him sundays. I tell him not to chat to anyone. A lot lies.

We both realized what he doing. My mum spoke to him and he said he wanted us back together. No chance that happen.

So what do I do?

My son can't tell his dad how he feels he very open with me.

I probably should not have recorded and sent to my ex but needed him to hear the way he carrys on.

I am at my wits end he meant to go next week. But my ex now has scared him by saying not to talk in that way. He wants to kill himself I just want to die. All because he wants to go his dads. But if like my ex right why he going there not talking to them and after two hours he wants to come back home. He talks about my family.

I said he needs quality time with you. Plus he come sunday with his gf. Also they lost a baby recently aswell.
I don't want to do please give advice?
