[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 56951, member: 3647"] Just know this. As long as you do not bad mouth your X to your son, one day, he will realize which parent stepped up and which parent punked out. Right now, it is safe for him to blame you, because you have always been there. If your son blames your father, in his mind, that might push his father away even more. You have been the steadfast one in his life. It is the same reason that difficult children save their "best" behavior for moms. They feel safest with us. My X owes me over $10,000 n child support, and our difficult child is only 6. It is the biggest pain in my b.utt to have to deal with him. He is a no job having loser who cares more about having a girlfriend than he does about supporting any of his kids (he has EIGHT). But I never bad mouth him to Tink. And I know for a fact that he has bad mouthed me to her. She's not dumb, and neither is your son. Kids grow up knowing who was there for them. It is a shame that these fathers can't be there for them all the time, it really is. These kids need their dads. Fortunately, they have us. [/QUOTE]
