If she wants to seperate make HER move our and insist for your son he stays in the home with YOU! Don't leave and don't let her take him out of the house. You should though inform him the very basics of what's going on. Mom met a man and decided to move out with him, it's not ok what she's doing, we still love you. No details, he still loves his mom as much as he loves you. Do evertyhting possible with and for him to show your are being the provider. I'm sorry but boys usually should be with their dads unless those dads aren't a good influence, they need to learn things from their dad a mom can never teach them!

--------> I don't agree with him telling child about mom's behavior. Two people can look at the exact same situation and perceive it in two totally different ways. That's why there is usually more than one side of a story or more than one truth. So you have dad the way he perceives what happened and he relays this to child, then you have mom who perceives it in a different manner and relays that way to the child. You end up with two different stories, the child picks one in his mind that he feels is correct and then resents the other parent. Or either doesn't pick either story as being the right one and feels like he's stuck in the middle of a battle.

You state that there are things that a Mom can NEVER teach a child that a Dad can......can you be more specific? What things can a Dad teach that a Mom can't?

Sometimes I need what only you can provide: your absence.
