Just a thought Wolfman… it seems like your S is being lost in the war (not yours, hers) between you and your ex. He could really use a third party representing his illness. I don’t know what is available in your area but I think in the US, there are “guardian ad litem” programs? I am not extremely familiar with how they get involved or when but it seems to me it would be worth looking into. I played basketball as a youth. Missing every other practice would have got me kicked off the team and/or warming the bench. If your son really wants to commit to a sports team and his mom’s attitude/behaviour is preventing this, perhaps a third party could add some pressure to her to do the right thing. Anyway…just something that occurred to me. Hopefully things will improve over time. (((HUGS)))
