I am really distressed about an ongoing situation with my ex-wife. She has been trying to alienate me from our son since we got divorced. Over the course of the last 4 years, she lied to get a temporary restraining order against me. Then she made false allegations to DCF and I was investigated. Now, I find out she has been telling our son to call his step-father “dad” which makes him feel “weird”, and what's worse is she gets “upset” if he doesn’t! This is unbelievable and in direct violation of our parenting plan. Our son is getting caught in the middle of this and I feel so sad for him so resentful of her. He deserves so much better and he’s such an amazing son. I tried being amicable and asked her to call me to discuss this like adults and give her the courtesy she never gave me but she ignores me when I bring up an issue about her behavior. She acts like she can do and say whatever she wants with impunity, and sadly she has been. I talked to an attorney and thought about trying to enforce the parenting plan but it is expensive and what is the court going to do anyway? They can’t physically make her stop and she obviously has no intention to. My parents both passed away in the same few years after my divorce and all of this has been taking its toll on me and and I feel so mentally exhausted and stuck in this awful situation. My son is the only thing keeping me going every day, he's all I have in this world and the best thing that's ever happened to me.
