Hello
I have a high conflict separation, very unfortunately.
My ex is telling my s13 lies about things I've supposedly said that are very inflammatory and negative to this child.
On top of this my son is clinically depressed and has expressed a thought of considering suicide.
I'm getting my son all the help that I can, according to the professionals.
I do my best not to put the child in the middle, but my ex is abusing his time with our son to malign me and alienate him from me.
He has already suceeded on that with our older son (14).
It's very difficult to be taking the high road when one see one's child(ren) being manipulated like this but I'm trying my best.
My counsellor called FACS who said this isn't bad parenting or child abuse so they wouldn't open a file.
How is this not child abuse? What is emotional or mental abuse? Why is it treated any different from hitting him?
Is there anything helpful that you can share with me?
Thanks
