[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 601138, member: 1550"] My own son is going through a divorce and his little boy is needing to deal with his mother's "fiance." As far as he's concerned, this man broke up his parents and he doesn't like him, although he is a nice little boy (still very young) and won't give him a hard time. This is very common in divorce and there is nothing you can do to make him like your wife. His mother may be planting things about her in his head like "Dad left us for her." You can try family counseling. But you have already seperated from your wife and your son knows she cheated on you. in my opinion it's going to be a tough sell. She isn't exactly being a model stepmother and your marriage isn't working out that well either. He's fourteen. He knows exactly what's going on. Did you say the two boys don't get along either? I always think it's best to put the kids before the new girlfriend/boyfriend. Did he act like this when you were dating her? Have you been divorced from Mom a long time? Have you ever chatted on dadsdivorceforum.com? If you went there, the men would give you a reaming out for ever marrying this woman when your child didn't like her. In their eyes, since they all want custody of their kids, the child comes before the new relationship. Now maybe you can make your son visit you with wife there. In certain states there are certain ages when the child can decide not to go. But if he CAN be forced to go, without wanting to, that may only make things worse. You have a hard battle ahead. I do wish you luck! [/QUOTE]
