What do I do next? Part 3

[luvhurts49]

I never say anything negative about his mom. Despite everything that is happening, I only have good things to say about my W. I may not always agree with her decisions or the way she handles certain things, but I never criticize her.

When my son makes any kind of negative comment regarding his mom, I always try to correct him. It's fine to have feelings of anger, sadness, etc, but I always reassure him that his mom loves him and cares for him deeply and so does he for her.

The problem that my son has is, whenever he tells his mom something that she may not like, she will snap back at him or infer that he is wrong. A child should never feel like they can't tell their parents what they are feeling and if they feel afraid of doing so, then it's a failing on the parents end, not the child's (and in this case, my wife's).

Now I won't deal with my son's problems with his mom for him. If he comes home and says this or that about his mom, then I simply sit down with him and talk to him about what he is feeling. I try to get him to look at things a little differently or in a way that is easier for him to understand. My thought is, if I can't make it easier on my son, then maybe it will then be easier for my son to talk to his mom.
