My ex is consistently engaging in parental alienation, and it’s affecting my son’s confidence and mental health. I have him for visitation every other weekend, but despite repeatedly asking her through the OFW app, she refuses therapy for him and virtual visitations. She wants me to text her for video calls instead of establishing a regular schedule. My son is 11, and I feel he needs consistent support. Any advice?
It’s crucial to document everything. Keep records of your requests for therapy and virtual visits. You might need to present this to the court.
Consider proposing a regular virtual visitation schedule through the court. If she refuses, it could be seen as hindering your son’s well-being.
You may want to consult a family law attorney. They can guide you on how to address parental alienation legally and advocate for your son’s needs.
It’s unfortunate she’s refusing therapy, but you can still seek counseling for your son independently. Sometimes therapists can provide strategies to cope with alienation.
If her actions are damaging your son, you might consider going back to court. Judges often take parental alienation seriously, especially when it affects a child’s mental health.
