[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]

He clearly doesn't respect you and knows he can bully you into doing what he wants. You need to do a hard reset, starting with turning off the wifi and enforcing no games for some amount of time. [/quote]

I'm the 15:16 poster - I would agree with this except - if he's got unlimited video games at his dad's and he comes to his mom's every other week, he's going to have to do this hard reset EVERY SINGLE TIME. It's not a hard reset if the video games are back and unlimited a week later. Hence my emphasis on - what can you do, if anything, to get Dad on the same team? Because you're right that he needs no games for some time (probably at least a month) but that isn't currently within the OP's locus of control. [/quote]

Mom needs to change her parenting style and get all of them help and getting married will not fix this.  If he breaks a tv or video game or something else, it doesn't get replace.  Simple.  He and she both need therapy, and she needs parenting classes.[/quote]
