Child choosing to live with father

Hi,

Completely new to the forum; but struggling to know who to turn to, as I believe I am in quite a unique position. My 9 year old son has decided he wants to live with his dad; and refusing to having anything to do with me. He is verbalising that he wishes he was like me; having lost my mum at the same age.

This is completely heartbreaking. I have not seen him in more than 3 weeks.

He has Autism and ADHD; but I have no idea whether this is a contributing factor.

Is there anyone here who has been through something similar; where the father has become the main carer ?

Thank you

No advice but this sounds heartbreaking. Didn’t want to read and run. I hope you find a happy solution for all.

He wishes he was like you? Does he mean that you'd died?
I'm sorry I'm just trying to get that straight in my head
I'm sorry this is happening
How is his dad? Is he just taking him or is he talking to him about this to try and sort some sort of agreement?
