DS wants to live with his dad...

We divorced 5 years ago. We share the 3 ds 5050

Ds (11) has now said he wants to live with his dad.
When he's with me he's difficult and tantrumy.
I'm not allowed to raise my voice or argue or disagree with him without him getting upset and wanting to call his dad.

Over the last few months the requests to call or facetime have increased. I do allow it but I try to sort it out myself first but it escalates.
He usually sobs and cries to his dad about how awful I am. Last week he told exdh he wanted him to come get him but of course I refused.
Last week he told me he wants to live with dad for now and see me sometimes. I have no idea what to do. Exdh would absolutely love it I've no doubt, he blames me for the divorce as I instigated it.I worry this will just drive us further apart and what about his contact with his brothers ??

I can't believe your kids move every three days that's sounds awful for them and so unsettling, no wonder your DS is acting up.
