[QUOTE="Coffee Lover, post: 714441, member: 21380"] We had 50/50 at the start (we have been divorced 10 years, thought things would be better by now). And that was alright until son started school. We live an hour apart. So off to court to get him into one primary home and then school. Took forever, but I have physical custody. We have joint legal (although there are court orders in place giving me sole mental health decision making power right now, part of what he is fighting). It just gets old. And poor son. Right now, like I said, he is raging at me. And I want to just shake him silly and ask him "WTF is wrong with you?! You KNOW how he is! Why are you believing him NOW?" because there are plenty of times he wants nothing to do with dad or dad's house. He's begged me not take him before, threatened to runaway if I made him go. CPS has been out there 4 times to investigate - son's stepsister there was removed from the home - but they never quite nail ex on enough to stop son from going. Which is good, I'd hate to think he's being abused or seeing it. He tells me all the time that his dad scares him, he's mean to him, he hates some of the things they do, can't stand his step mom....I can go on and on. And he'll cry and complain about his life (hates having two houses, I get that). But then when his dad gets into a mood, he eats it all up and starts spewing it and all of the feelings he's shared about his dad are suddenly moot and I'm the evil one. I am trying to be strong, and to understand what he is going through, but with legal battles with his dad, him raging at me at home, dealing with work (I'm missing a lot of time here...), and then just NORMAL life things - I'm really on the verge of just losing my mind. My whole heart hurts all the time. [/QUOTE]
