I've been thinking about you. Sorry you're in such a tough situation.[/quote]

This is OP back.

I haven’t wanted to post on here with any specifics because I am afraid of my ex reading this, and things got uglier. But things have been absolute hell and when my DS turns 18 in a couple months, I genuinely fear he will never speak to my ex again. I did not alienate my ex - he alienated himself from our son.[/quote]

It sounds like you did help alienate him.  Hope you aren't going to demand Dad pay for college now.[/quote]

Troll, read the thread, it was addressed. [/quote]

+1. OP, ignore the troll. Sorry things have been so ugly. I see this happening with my 17yo nephew, although the facts are a little different (no football, closer than 80 miles, etc.) and he just turned 17 so still has a year to go. At least you only have a couple months to go, and if there is no relationship between DS and your ex after that, then so be it. Hang in there. [/quote]

You are the troll if you cannot see why [b]the relationship between a father and the child are important.[/b]  No wonder teens are so screwed up with people like you advising them.[/quote]
Clearly the father doesn't see it this way, If he did he wouldn't have moved so far away and he would be willing to work with his son for a more convenient visitation schedule.     [/quote]

He moved for better housing. Not inreadonable. Maybe mom moved too. [/quote]

Bigger house is more important than spending time with kid, got it[/quote]

Kid is with dad four days a month.  So, it makes sense to move further out.  Kid needs a bedroom.  [/quote]

You don’t need to move “further out” an HOUR AWAY to get a second bedroom. Just get a condo.[/quote]

Condos have lots of fees.  Staying close would make sense with shared custody but this is just four days a month.  Mom could have moved closer. [/quote]

Yup, this dad cares more about avoiding condo fees than he does about his son, even in the weird fan fiction you’re writing about him. [/quote]

You are writing fan fiction. Condo fees can be more than a mortgage. Makes zero sense. He sees the kid four days a month but even if he was close [b]mom would still refuse visits[/b] so distance is not a factor.  [/quote]
OP has clearly stated many times that she is NOT the one refusing visitaion and that her son is doing so of his own accord.[/quote]

If she isn’t having son visit she’s refusing visits.  [/quote] It's the kid refusing not the mother, You can't force a kid his age to go no matter how hard you try.[/quote]
