[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 589785"] It could be that he likes it at ex's house but is gearing up to come to your house. Sometimes difficult child 1 does this. At x's house he tells x that he hates it here and wants to live with him. At our house he says he would never want to live with x. Your son could be trying to keep both sets of parents happy. I go out of my way to tell difficult child 1 that it is ok to like/love x. But the emotional poison isn't coming from my house so me saying things like that doesn't change much. Once difficult child 1 even said "But I hate you, I'd never want to leave." I think he was mixing up his households. It was right after he got back from x's. I think the healthiest thing for your son is for him to be able to like it at dad's house without being afraid of hurting you. If you try to talk to him about this it might come across that he can't like dad without hurting mom. If you could explain that you miss texting him that might help with your feelings without placing emotional stress on easy child. You want to be able to text him and for easy child to be able to talk about anything at dads house with you. Good luck, I know the fear of losing a child emotionally. [/QUOTE]
