[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 222040, member: 3626"] I'm going to assume the ex has visitation rights. So, this is something you're going to have to deal with sooner or later. I can understand your ex's concerns. He only has to deal with his son on occasion and a bouncing-off-the-wall boy can be a lot of fun for the "vacation" parent. They're excited, eager, ready to do stuff. To see his son sitting quietly, not bouncing, not ready to hop from one activity to the next has got to be strange to him. Try talking to the ex some more. See if you guys can make a deal that at least for this weekend, he'll keep his trap shut about any negative feelings he has about the medications in front of his son. Then, try to arrange an appointment with someone (school is usually a good one for this) to explain to your ex what a difference the medications have made in your son's life. If he continues to object, maybe your son can take a medication break at his dad's and daddy can deal with the mania. So, I'd try to let him stay with his dad this weekend. Your son loves his father. He's lucky enough to have a dad who at least will see him once in awhile and cares enough about his son to see a difference. Your son's birthday is coming up and so is Christmas. I think I would do everything possible to let your son enjoy this time even if it means putting up with some guff about taking medications by your son later. Sometimes we really do have to sukk it up for our kids, especially when exes and family are involved. [/QUOTE]
