I have 2 kids with my ex. He takes the kids every 2nd weekend from Friday to sunday. The past 2 drop offs my son (will call him H) has been extremely upset and in my exes words dosnt want to come home. The first time I told my ex that it was a long time for my H to go without seeing him and could maybe take him for dinner during the week or even make contact with H . He's nearly 12 and has his own phone. He agreed and told H he would see him on the Tuesday. Tuesday comes and he cancels. We don't here anything from him until the next weekend visit. My exes dad (Hs granddad) picks them up for his dad's weekend. H comes home on the Sunday heartbroken again. Once again my ex is standing at my door telling me H dosnt want to come home. I've spoke to H and discovered that its not that he dosnt want to come home its that his dad stays with his girlfriend on the Friday and dosnt come back till after dinner on the saterday leaving the kids with their gran and grandad and he also dosnt like having to wait 2 weeks to see him again. He's hardly getting to see them or spend any time with them. My 6yo couldn't give a shit tbh but H is crying out for more time with his dad and I'm at a loss. I'm sick of constantly asking him to atleast phone him during the week. Ive warned his dad hes going to damage their relationship. His words where that H could get the bus to his house to see him when he wants!!! It's a 35 minute bus journey that H has never took, he's also autistic and struggles with the 10 minute bus journey to school. That will absolutely not be happening! What do I do. How do I help my boy. He just wants his dad to spend some more time with him.
