[QUOTE="busywend, post: 61961, member: 391"] Welcome! I did move my difficult child to her father's for a period of one year. She changed school districts and I saw as often as I could - during cheerleading season that was daily. She hated it at dad's, too. He was 'mean' to her. What she really was seeing was the differences between a dad and a mom. She was used to the mom way of parenting, but never really had the true dad parenting experience - just Disney Dad before she lived with him. She did beg me to come back to live with me. I told her there was nothing to be changed for a period of one year. When that year was up - she had improved at school, was must more respectful to me, things were better for sure. I moved to her dad's town and we began splitting time 50/50 - it works so well. She tried to change it all the time, but in reality she is happier now than she has been all her life. She has admitted to not being able to be around either parent for longer than she currently is - maximum 3 days. Don't feel horrible about your son being at dad's - it certainly must be better than him being in a strange family to him. [/QUOTE]
