Would y'all pls give me opinions,experiences,etc

06/14/09 11:00 PM

My Ex tonight - upon my almost 8 yr old son saying that he just doesn't like talking on the phone - isn't into it - but that he does love his Dad -to his Dad - had to hear his Dad say point blank 'Well if he doesn't like talking on the phone or has no time for his Dad then **I** don't have ANY time to send him ANY presents EVER again!!!"

My son literally busted out sobbing more than I've ever seen him cry! I could *feel* his heart breaking and then beginning to harden...this hurts so beyond anything I've ever known. I've only ever wanted to lovingly protect my sons but how can I from a jerk who happens to be their Dad?

I went ballistic and called my no good Ex on his blatant hypocrisy - told him how it is REALLY crappy of him to hold his son to a standard that HE wasn't even willing to follow HIMSELF seeing as he HATES talking on the phone,always has -and when he and I were married -he had ME be his secretary taking all calls AND making his for him - or I'd get bitched at without mercy...Yet his almost 8 yr old son HAS to like talking on the phone or else???

Have any of y'all gone through divorce...had an Ex like this...helped your child go through the horrible feelings of divorce ...have been a child of divorce and had a parent like my ex? Any objective opinions and opinions of those who have lived this experience would be MUCH appreciated!!
If you were me would you FORCE your child to talk with someone who happens to be his Dad just because 'he'd better'? or would you give him a choice? What if the Dad wasn't a great one? I know I have my own faults -but I'd NEVER threaten a kid with NO presents!!! EVER!!!!!!

The boys step 'Mom' says that Thad WILL talk with Craig because that is Craig's 'Right'... I feel it is in Thad's best interest to NOT make him talk with Craig because each time begins an awful emotional turmoil filled time afterwards..

Thanks...
