Stephanie,

I understand how you feel about your ex telling your son that he is fat, etc... that is just not right. It sounds like your son has a lot to contend with, but with your support he will probably turn out being a very compassionate adult. As parents we want to protect our children as much as we can and it hurts us when we see them suffer physically or emotionally. BELIEVE me, everyday I feel like I’m trying to protect my kids from so many things. It can wear a parent out. It has worn me out. I feel guilty that I have put them through a divorce etc... I so much understand your vent! Just keep on being the great parent you are. We can’t totally control other people’s behavior, but we can help our children interpret it. Good luck and you are not alone!
