My youngest child (13 yo) has been having problems at home and school. The child is a bit sensitive and misinterprets some social cues. He also is sometimes being bullied. His older sibling can be a bit cruel (and refuses to go to any type of counselling).
There was an incident earlier this month which ended up with me calling 911 because of the behaviour of the youngest child (medical). Now the younger one says he wants to live with Dad. I'm devastated. Yes, of course it's more fun at Dad's house (for lots of reasons), especially when the older sibling isn't around.
I'm also infuriated because the father told our youngest that I've been trying to keep the youngest away from his father for most of his life (which is absolute BS -- the father unilaterally decreased access more than two years ago). Apparently the father (my ex) asked the younger one if he'd like to spend more time with him and described the regular access schedule per the court order. Then told the younger son he'd go to court and have some changes made.
Why would he need to go to court for access that is already in place? He knows he can't make unilateral changes to a court order (I hope he does), so I'm wondering if it's a potential custody battle the ex is planning.
I presently have full custody.
The problems the younger one has won't go away because he lives with Dad.
It's not knowing and fuming over the lies ex told. I don't think a 13 year old could have made them up....
