Need to stop pushing

[Painter]

But do you think she would stop if you divorced? H and his ex continued to fight (she was angry and attacking, vindictive and used the kids as weapons, and he was too easily engaged and has his own anger issues) until the kids were 18. Today, one has no contact with her, the other sometimes talks.

When you want to protect your child, you have to find a way to make it work regardless if you're together or apart...

I'm so very sorry for what your son is going through. I've seen the damage it did to my stepkids.
