[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't take sides until I know how much support and help your wife gets. I had a single mom growing up and my dad would tell us all the right things on the phone, but he never had to actually deal with any of the issues we were going through. We saw him every other weekend and he would spoil us rotten, but then sent us back to reality with mom. My mom was a wonderful mother, but she did lose it at times. I do remember a couple bad fights where she told me that I should go and live with my father.

I will always love my father, but my mom was always there through the good and the bad. Now that I am an adult and I have a better idea of what she was dealing with, there is just no way I could hold anything against her. I feel like you are not telling us the whole story. Why was your wife able to get primary custody? In my mother's case my father was an alcoholic.       [/quote]

This. Times a million. OP ain't gonna tell us the full story, folks.[/quote]

No, no, no.  It doesn't matter what OP's story is.  I'm a single parent (woman).  My ex is a complete dip shit and will never be a decent parent, like ever.  I do 100% of the heavy lifting.  He takes the kid when it's convenient for him in the middle of the day and returns him when it's time to be a parent (and not just a fun buddy).  All that said, I would NEVER EVER EVER tell my child that he will go live with his dad and won't be able to return home.  That is unacceptable.  No excuses, period.  If she is tired, have a coming to Jesus with your ex, but be an adult about it.

My son told me once when HE was mad that he wants to go live with dad.  I said "sure, that would be fine with me." I don't ever want him to feel like I'm keeping him away from his dad, but I will never threaten to not let him come back.  [/quote]
