[quote=Anonymous]Our separation is very new. In the past week, my co-parent has told my kid 1) That the reason we don't have 50/50 custody is because I won't allow them to see the kid. 2) That the reason they missed visitation is because they were job hunting because I "don't give them enough money to live on". Neither thing is true, and now I have a kid who is sad, missing their other parent, and angry at me because they think it's my fault. I know I can't fix the sad/missing their parent thing, but not sure how to address the angry thing. When kid says "Why don't you let parent take me?" Do I tell the truth and say "I offered them 50/50, they told me it was too much."? When kid says "I don't want co-parent to be poor!" Do I say "Neither do I, that's why I send them $X per month." I feel as though both of these things would be really hurtful, but so are the lies. Any advice from someone who has been separated longer?[/quote]
