Have been separated for 8 months. One DS age 6. Ex DH has never once phoned to speak to DS, even when it's been over a week since seeing him,....but someone has obviously told him you should be doing this so he's announced he's going to call him for a chat every night at bedtime...
Ex dh is insisting on three days a week and I have four. I want to change this as we have no divorce as yet, just an informal agreement, but there are lots of issues which means DS isn't happy with him and I'm not happy with that level of access. Anyway aside from that is there any reason he shouldn't phone ds every night? For me it feels so intrusive. Ex is a bully and an arrogant shit. The times I don't have to speak to him, hear from, him interact with him are the times I can relax and be happy. Any interaction or reminder of him and I'm tense and feel pretty sick.
DS has had similar feelings but is on the same ride I used to be on of sometimes hating him, sometimes trying to believe Daddy is lovely.
Would it be outrageous to suggest he doesn't call every night? It feels outrageous to suggest he doesn't. DS isn't bothered about talking to him.
