DS is 12, he's just come to live with me after spending 12 months with dad after we split. He took it really bad and dad really drummed some crap into him, he's been a nightmare at school with over 70 incidents and a few days exclusion, mainly insolence, disruption, defiance.
Dad kicked him out at weekend, son said he's been drinking and has a new girlfriend so hes def feeling the effects of being unwanted.
School have been awesome and he's currently under a social worker.
I live in a different borough and getting him to school has been difficult this week as I have 2 other children needing to be at school in my borough at the same time.
School have agreed exceptional circumstances for the time being.
There's a school right near me and I'm considering a move. He said he would be ok but I'm worried it might cause him more emotional upset. This last week he's settled in fine, made loads of new friends and seems happy. He's in year 8 so seems like a good time before all the important stuff starts.
