I am back in court fighting for more time and to stop relocation. My son is being coached by my ex wife and I don’t get any extra time unless it’s traded for extended vacations to her boyfriends home where she wants to relocate. I am struggling with loneliness at the moment and the highlight of my day is speaking with my son for like 4 minutes. Whenever we FaceTime he says goodbye the minute he picks up and doesn’t even want to talk about his day or anything, average call is a minute or less. I don’t expect a long conversation, but he’s 7 and I’m his dad and we only see each other every other weekend and a few dinner visits a week. I was very upset the other night when my son was on the phone talking to his mom. I always give him privacy, but I could hear the mom’s boyfriend talking to him for minutes. I feel like I’m being replaced.

Also, the boyfriend reaches out to me through the mail to sell his home or two add his two cents about issues with me and his mom. I think he has no say with my son. She thinks he can make decisions because he is now a part of my son’s life. My ex is very toxic and has accused me of abuse and not coparenting. She is doing this to move to across the continent. I don’t trust a word she says and just get false accused at all times. She wants me to give up and is putting this pressure as well as the financial pressure I wrote about in other posts.

Background, this is the man she left me for and cheated with during the end of our marriage.

How do you keep your child in your life in this situation and how do you deal with an ex like this?
