What is the name of your state?
I don't know what to do and this crap is driving me crazy. I feel like my X and his new wife is trying to turn my son against me. I know without a doubt that my son loves me and misses me when he's gone but he told me last night that the dad and the new step mom tell him to not tell me things because I get mad and angry. My son has told me many things that I disagreed with but did not get mad nor say a word about. The one time I got upset was over a boy they were allowing my son to hang around with that had broke into someone's house and stole a gun. My son is seeing a counselor every couple of weeks because he asked me to take him back to his counselor. The first time he went, he said he felt better. His dad and stepmom act like they are so afraid of what is being said to the counselor and now my son is saying I feel better now and I don't need to go back. It's almost like he is being told to say this. Just to give a little history of the father. He is a drug addict that is claiming he is drug free now since the new wife came into the picture. His son witnessed some very bad things that happened to his dad a few years ago. I try to be very nice toward the dad and new wife but at times my patience runs thin. Aslo, in our parenting plan in states that a our childrens birthdays are to be divided equally. What exactly does that mean? My daughters birthday falls on his weekend and I know if I want half that day he is going to give me crap about it. Please give me some advice to help deal with these issues.
Thanks
