Hi,
My ex was very controlling. It got worse when I was pregnant with our DS. I finally got my ex to leave the home several years later. He was abusive on handovers, not handing over our son and using him like a pawn. He lied all the way through a custody battle.
My ex has had two girlfriends with children in the same class as our DS, after me. He's been crazy with both of those too. They've now seen the light.
After a few mths of it being calm with my ex.... (him boxed in via a parenting app, and him unable to appear at school on my pick-ups nights due to a lack of school-gate girlfriend), he's just reappeared.
He is making false allegations about me and my Mum to the police. Our DS seems to be acting oddly. He's just been crying and shaking and saying that he NEEDS to ring his Dad NOW and then shaking. It's late so I said to ring tomorrow. This set off further panics in DS.... Literally panics.
Something dark is going on I think. I've told school and the police about some of this week and asked social workers to support. I've got a boy who says he cannot sleep at all tonight now and he'll pay me to let him ring his Dad now.
I'm not sure what to do but I'm very worried about my DS. I'm worried that my ex is controlling DSS head like he used to mine.
I asked DS if he's scared of his Dad but super quickly, DS said... 'No no no... I promise!! I promise....!'
I don't know the best way to properly figure out what's going on. Any advice?
