Hi @PeteNorthside, that sounds so difficult for everyone involved. I can totally understand why you are feeling helpless. It must be such a horrible and upsetting feeling to sit with. Does your ex wife allow you to have much input? Are you able to make suggestions and have them taken into consideration? I was also wondering whether your ex wife might find Parent Line helpful? I mentioned this in my previous post above but to reiterate, it is a service that provides telephone counselling and resources. Also, does your ex wife seek any professional help where she could voice her concerns about your son? I understand you may not have these answers but thought I would ask in case Smiley Happy

Good point. She says she has been seeing a psychologist but Parentline would be helpful for her. I have been using Parentline myself, so I forgot to emphasise that resource for her, thank you.
