[QUOTE="Michelle809, post: 737930, member: 23299"] RN0441, the issue with his father is a long one. He and I divorced right around the same time all of this started with DS. Not sure if that made matters worse or if all of the was going to happen with DS or not. My ex couldn't cope with the divorce and moved a couple hours away, still this many years later he wants to get back with me. DS has since had an on/off relationship with his dad. I spoke with my ex last week and told him I think if he had showed DS that life goes on after a relationship that DS would have had an easier time moving on from his ex-girlfriend. My ex had become very controlling and verbally abusive. I saw that same pattern repeat out with DS and his girlfriend. My ex still 5 years later has not moved on and talks to the kids about he and I getting back together. DS is not able to let go of his girlfriend and keeps trying to get back with her even though it's over. Maybe a year or so after DS started stealing from me (and he has only ever stolen from me and his job), he finally admitted that my ex had been telling him that he (my ex) was financially broke because I split up the family and taking all his money with child support. DS said that he was acting out and because he was trying to get back at me for splitting up the family. With that said, my ex is not a whole lot of help with much of anything (financially, physically, emotionally). [/QUOTE]
