Hello
Here is my update. Dad, son and I met to discuss the issues. Dad spoke for son and said that son wants to keep the arrangement still the same however, he would like the right to make decision about where he spends time as it comes up. e.g if son wants to spend extra time with either parent, then he can do so. I agreed that he is old enough to make his own decisions about where he wants to be. I also said that son needs to lighten up and have more fun in his life getting out of the house more on his own with friends and hobbies besides tv and computer. Therefore for the past couple of weeks, when son is at my home, he has chosen to go spend both weekends with his dad instead. I am definitely hurt by this but I try not to show it. I feel as though I am not appreciated for what I do for son. So, as I see it, the likely turn of events will be that son gradually spends more time with dad. I guess that I can't complain as I have had 2 equal years with him since the separation. I do think that he is depressed as what i see when he is home is that he does not have any passion to get involved with others. Dad thinks that he is great as dad does not see these issues at his home. Dad was to look into extra curric for son, however, now he has said that there is no issue and that son is happy as is. I am frustrated as I do think that son is isolating himself still. Dad thinks that son is happy doing as he does, lots of computer time and lots of tv. I am not willing to accept that this is all that son has in his life. Should I accept the situation as is? Or should I pursue getting third party involved? Totally uncertain what to do as I don't want to severe what is left of relationship with son. thank you for letting me vent.
