Multivitamins & Supplements - Special & Extraordinary?
Im with stripeson this one. 12 years is a long time. Your husband needs to see someone for two reasons: first to learn how to disengage and walk away and second on how to manage the relationship with his child. Im not sure how old but divorced parents walk a fine line between being ATMs and a parent. Its not unreasonable for dad to say no and if kid says anything he just responds with "im sorry your mother felt it was appropriate to discuss this with you. This is between the two of us and I dont want you to be in the middle."
My partner attended therapy on how to deal with his kids and the money and the bad mouthing. His therapist stressed the need to set boundaries, stand firm on those boundaries and disengage after. Its not easy. I think once dad starts disengaging he will notice the stress will reduce because it ends the back and forth.
