Wasn't sure where to post this as son is 11, but here goes - hoping some of you have experience.

DS is really becoming concerned about his dad, who is prone to generally looking on the bleak side, and who is very introverted, doesn't like talking about anything and rarely shares feelings, etc.

ExH lives with a much younger gf and her daughter who I think is about 7, and their own daughter who is around 15m. So not a great deal of sleep to be had obviously but DS is very concerned that his dad is living on energy drinks, which DS say make him snappy, that he looks terrible and they have lots of rows, which he doesn't like.

He's now come out from his bed to say yet again he is so worried about these energy drinks - I'm guessing he has seen or read something about the dangers. And he wants me to say something.

The gf is extremely confrontational and I no doubt will get laughed, sworn or shouted at by her as I have done over many things in the past. But my DS is desperate for me to say something - WWYD?
