[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry for delayed responses, more drama at home. Because DS blocked his father, he now insists on communicating with me through threats. He thinks that I am contributing to parental alienation and that lawyers will need to be involved. All I can say is "Good luck! DS is turning 18 in November, go waste your resources on lawyers". Just unbelievable how adults can be so clueless. [/quote]

OP, screenshot all those communications. Write your responses as if a judge were reading them. Ask your ex point-blank why he never spends alone time with his son. Remind him that his son has requested this multiple times, that it’s an emotional need the boy is expressing, and that the boy is angry at how his father is not meeting that emotional need. Explain to him that you are not involved, it’s not parental alienation, and it’s easier and more comfortable for your ex to blame you instead of taking a hard look at his own behavior. Remind him that his son is going off to college and this is his last summer of childhood, and therefore his dad’s last chance for some quality alone time with his child. That child will become an adult soon.

Is your ex helping to pay for college?[/quote]
Great advice, well said. (Not OP)[/quote]
