I co parent with my ex husband - separated as he had mental health problems which led to a drinking problem. We have an almost 4 year old son together.
I have him during the week & He stays at his Dad’s 2 weekends and I have him 1 weekend. His Dad lives in an annexe style flat with his new partner and my son stays there with them when he’s there.
This evening in the car he told me his dad and partner hit him. I asked him why and he said when he does accidents or gets things out that he shouldn’t.
It was past his bedtime and I know he was tired and that toddlers can bend the truth sometimes. However I asked him again later in a non leading way and he confirmed that it was true. I recorded the conversation and a couple more we had where he also confirmed it.
What do I do now?! He’s asleep now and I plan to have a conversation with him again tomorrow when he’s well rested. How do I ask him with non leading questions
His dad’s a narcissist and I don’t trust him one bit. I’m absolutely devastated at the thought that I’ve been sending him there and this has been happening - I always ask if he wants to go and he does always want to, he seems to have a good time and is excited to go.
Even if he wakes up tomorrow and tells me it’s not true… surely I need to still look into this. How!
