[quote=Anonymous]I really think dads and kid would be well served by some joint counseling. There is no way a decent therapist is gojng to take step moms side in this and should be helpful in getting dad to see the importance of him having some one on one time with son. Even if step mom goes to the therapy, that would likely be helpful. Also, only half joking but maybe he should invite dad to a movie or music venue that would be inappropriate for younger children. I would try to avoid getting into it with the ex or step mom but if you have to I would say - I think it is reasonable for a 17 year old boy to want to do things alone with his dad. I think it was inappropriate for him to yell at you the way he did but I understand the emotions that sparked that reaction. You need to manage your relationship with your son -/ I would really like for you both to be able to repair it. But I’m not the one that can do that. I think a family therapist might be really helpful. [/quote]
