anyone have any idea how i can help improve the relationship between my wife and my son. She has been in his life for 5 years now and im almost certain they hate each other. The problem is unfortunately that my wife just doesnt seem to be able to stop having a go at my son. They have very little interaction but when they do it is almost certainly her telling him not to do something or that he hasnt done something he should have done or that hes has done something wrong. Whenever he is upset she says hes "playing on it" even with this covid 19 business, hes only just turned 8, hes frustrated, hes worried, he misses his friends, all the thing all our kids are going through but my wife insists he is using the coronavirus to get away with this that and the other!! She will not listen to me. I even contacted the school to ask them to explain to her that his behaviour isnt manipulation and disrespect that its just a little boy struggling with a new world and she still thinks shes right and i, as well as a school full of qualified teachers and all the child pyschologists on the planet are wrong....it's him, hes the problem according to her. I'm almost certain its going to destroy our marriage, i have given her chance after chance but she just isnt changing. anyone have any advice cause im losing this battle and i cant keep my son in this atmosphere cause its getting worse and worse.

Sorry to hear this, i saw your thread earlier and thought there no simple answer despite the clarity that most posters seemed to have on the matter. You've taken a difficult decision and your son will thank you for it but it's difficult and all the strength to you in the coming days.
