My son has split from his partner of 5/6 years, they have a 4 year old child who i will call Jake. Their relationship has been very toxic for many years and frankly the split was the best thing for them in my opinion. They have spent years rowing often infront of their son which i dont condone. Their relationship has been off and on for years and finally my son put a stop to it as he could see how much damage was being done to Jake.
His partner i will call her Jane cannot be reasoned with and is making things quite impossible for my son. He sees Jake every weekend, pays maintenance and helps with babysitting if needed when asked but nothing is enough. Jane will tell Jake his daddy doesnt love him and that he is a bad dad and continually says awful things about my son in front of Jake. Jake is now confused and doesnt want to stay with my son because of these awful things he is being told.
Jane found a new relationship quickly after they split and my son was ok with this as Jake likes Mummys new friend. My son has recently started a new relationship which has made Jane very angry.
I am really asking for help for my son to cope, he is very upset as Jake is now saying he doesnt want to spend time with his dad, which is simply down to what he is being fed by Jane. How can I help my son get through this, can anything be done to stop Jane saying these terrible things about him? Jane is constantly threatening my son with not seeing Jake, she uses Jake as a bargaining chip to get her own way.
Any help of advice would be great as i really dont know how to help him. Thank you
