[QUOTE="Babbs, post: 64627, member: 3820"] WW my heart breaks for you and your son. Does your son go to counseling at all? Recently divorced myself, I've had to watch my ex-AH do similiar emotional game playing with my 6 year old. The one thing I'm so glad I did was get my son into counseling for about 7 months last year and again this year. It's really been helpful for me to hear him practice with his counselor how to tell his dad how he feels and then listen to him tell his dad "Stop teasing me!" or "I want you to call me more." I've slowly come to the realization that I'm going to have to put my son back into therapy every time ex-AH starts playing emotional games and every developmental stage that my son progresses through. I can't change the ex's behavior, but I can try to get my son all the support to help him learn how to deal with the fall out. Hopefully one day my son will be able to stand up to his dad. Best of luck to you and your son. He may need someone neutral to the situation to talk to and help him work through the emotional bs his dad's putting him through. [/QUOTE]
