[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's 17. As long as you brought him to visitation and encouraged him to  try and work it out with his dad and not cheering or egging him on to walk out, then it's not on you. You can only do but so much... At that age can you truly force a child? This is on his father to reach out, encourage him to stay and work it out. You shouldn't have to do that for your ex. [/quote]

He’s not 17, that was another poster.  He’s 14.

If I said “I need you to do this.” he’d listen to me.  Especially if he thought it could influence custody.  [/quote]

At 14 you need to be a parent and support dad no matter how much you hate him.  If you don’t want him as dad then be honest and don’t take child support. [/quote]

The beauty is, you are not entitled to have a good relationship with your kids even if you are supporting them; just ask any non-divorced families with difficult teenagers.  If the kid doesn't want to do anything with their dad, it's not the mom's fault.  Might not be the dad's fault either, but definitely the dad's problem to solve.[/quote]

Moms behavior, actions and words clearly impact the relationship.   Dad cannot solve this without both parents working together.  Op is not willing.  Difficult teeenagers are that way for a reason. Baring mental health issues that are genetic, look at the home life.  [/quote]
