Ex asking Son to live in Caravan!!!

Oakleaf40 · 26/10/2021 16:23

Will try to cut a long story short my Ex and I and my Son decided it was best for him move to live with his father and his new GF to go to a college that was best suited for my son. (Due to having a really bad time at his previous school he didn't want to go any of the colleges where all these kids went that made his life hell were going to attend)

The Ex did not tell his new partner that my son was going to be moving in with him , Quite understandably she was not happy to not find this out without discussion and we had a few heated exchanges between us. She had said it was something she was trying to figure out if it would work etc..anyway the Ex must have smoothed things over with her and he moved in.

Now after a not even 2 mths she's started to pick at everything he does...Claiming to now have OCD!! ( Never in the whole time hes been with her has this ever come up) Oh and now shes claustrophobic..... he's got to keep everything as she wants it.. Cant use a cup, glass without it having to be washed up and cleared away right that moment.
She ripped up his cable for his playstation 4 times!! and left it on a pile in his room and broke it.
This weekend when I went to collect him they have asked him how he would feel about him living in a Caravan!!

Im at my witts end and I do not know how to sort this situation out.. She knew what she was getting into but I also cannot believe my Ex would even suggest this!! or allow this to even happen to his son...

Am I wrong to be totally disgusted at the suggestion???
Need help and advice before i explode. !!

@Oakleaf40

I do not want him in a Caravan .. I get it would be somewhere to hang out... They live very rural so its all enclosed at the property so he's not on a campsite but on the property they rent...

He seems excited as any young lad would,,.. But the reality will soon set in. I have said that this needs further discussion with the BOTH.. Not just his father. Ask the questions.. What if he doesn't like it etc.. whats the plan ..ETC

It does need a lot further discussion, with all 3 adults and DS. Like are they expecting him to spend most of his time in the caravan? What about meals and watching TV and spending time with his Dad in the evenings and weekends? Will he be welcome in the house anytime or only at certain times?

If You are going to quote me at least get my name right.

In these circumstances I’d let him try it - he might actually be better off not having to share space with such a controlling and abusive woman. Can he come home to you every weekend? If he’s happy to try it and college is going well then just make it clear he’s always got a home with you and you love him and this move is about enabling him to be himself in his own space. (I totally understand your fury but if you want him to stay at that college it may be better in a caravan than a toxic house).

Sheffield:
The city is in the eastern foothills of the Pennines, and the valleys of the River Don and its four tributaries, the Loxley, the Porter Brook, the Rivelin and the Sheaf. Sixty-one per cent of Sheffield's entire area is green space, and a third of the city lies within the Peak District national park.

@Flowersintheattic2021 the north western fringe of Sheffield is rural. It's a well kept secret tho so dont pass it on. Wink
