[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ex doesn’t want full custody, so that’s not an option, and Wi-Fi being turned off isn’t an option either, that’s when he gets violent. -OP[/quote]
I think it's like alcoholism - you have to quit cold turkey and you (both) have to suffer the withdrawals.

Why can't you turn off wifi for his computer?  You can set that at the router. We did that for the kid's phones when they were younger.  My DS was getting angry after playing computer games, so we took that away.

I do agree with a PP that if you take away the game access you need to replace it with something else. IMO, he needs to let out energy.  Does he do any kind of sports?  He needs to be tired out.

Also agree with a PP that bringing in a BF in your home at this stage is not a good idea.  Unfortunately, you need to think of what's best for your kid, not you.

When did the violence start?  Be honest, and think long and hard about when the violence started.[/quote]

He’s had a violence problem for a couple years now but it escalated these past few months.[/quote]
did the violence start due to the divorce?  I think he needed therapy years before.[/quote]
