| I'm in this situation with my son's father. He badmouthes me and my husband to my son and it affects his behaviour when he returns to me. His mother is also toxic and likes to join in and tells my son what a nasty person I am! Ultimately, I don't think that there is very much you can do. The parent who is doing the badmouthing tends to come off worse in the end as the kids get sick of it and see them for who they really are. Give your kids reassurance and tell them that daddy is angry because he has some issues, but they're not to take any notice of what he says to them. Encourage your kids to be excited about the baby and try to give them as much attention as you can. Your kids will see their father for the bitter person he is and probably want to avoid him when they're old enough to make their own decisions. He's doing it to himself and will only make himself unhappy and lonely. ↑ |

| Fiona is right on target. Its the most frustrating situation cause it seems you cant win. Just dont hold it against your kids because its a confusing situation ↑ |

| Thank you for your replies. My kids already have formed an opinion of their dad and his side of the family . they never want to go with him. Usually I have to literally pick my oldest (8) and put her in his car and walk away. I wouldnt want to be in contempt of court but it gets soo hard. I think when they are 12 they can voice their opinions to the court.. to bad they have to wait that long but whattcha gonna do right? :P ↑ |
