We have been seperated for ten years (s is 11).
Son has recently disclosed that his father has been "slagging" me off. Son is not happy but frightened of his dad. Wants to tell him to stop but is afraid.
I want to be clear that I've never, ever been negative about his dad.
There is a lot of back stuff to this, ex has always been controlling and wanted our son to live with him.
He has been verbally abusive over the years.
I'm far from perfect, but I've always wanted to be amicable, for our son.
Son is starting to say that he hates his dad and doesn't want to see him any more. But he's too scared to say why.
I've got to sort this out, but how do I approach it? Mediation? Or confront him? Or...?
I'd be grateful for any perspectives/advice.
Thanks.
