Hi, split from my lads dad 10 years ago as controlling narsist, was bad at the time (trying to break in house to see son at 11 oclock at night) (throwing son to floor as saying not his when I got boyfriend etc) but we eventually were able to have normal conversations about our child, when my son got mobile our communication stopped completely. Tried to have conversation with him to keep me in loop as teenager (1) shouldn't have responsibility of arranging timing etc and (2) harder to co parent when you don't get the information and he just turns up.(have court order for visits etc in place) MAIN ISSUE picked up our son from school and without telling my son or me got married over weekend to girlfriend met in covid times. (Engages early as control mec, girl loses friends etc) this one had baby with him in covid too. MY SON came home upset as only wanted photos of wife, groom(dad) and new baby didn't want him in them. His aunt(dads sis) took son to macdees but I don't know how to resolve this, I feel he is cutting my son out and I don't want him to have any of problems I've had with him. My son is amazing well rounded boy and it hurts me to the core that he is getting emotionally hurt by his dad. Taken day off as strike day and to give my son support but I don't know if need to find counselling for him.

May I suggest you ask for your thread to be moved to Relationships - it's not going to be seen by many on the One Child section.

Tricky and sorry your son is upset that's terrible behaviour

I'd see this as an opportunity to cut away contact though - sounds like you will both be better off if he does move on and loose interest for good
