Trusting, as you know from my sitch it as been very hard with my son and his dad, they have been back in touch since July last year, I told son he is 15 years old now and is old enough to make his own decisions in life etc, regarding his dad, whenever dad asks son to do something he always tells him that he will have to ask me, i have told son he doesnt have to ask me unless he as a problem with what dad is asking him to do, I just think that all this crap makes the kids feel so awkward and its like they dont want to upset the apple cart so to speak, ie they dont want to cause problems and upset between us supposedly adults. yes also son comes and reports back to me, not so much about ex's wifey but he tells me about him and dad, I just feel sorry for the kids, after all the only thing they wanted was mum and dad to be together and have a happy childhood, I suppose in a way these kids still believe that mum and dad will get back together and they try to some extent to be matchmakers from heaven x
