Discussion forum for parents in Australia

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

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.
It looks like you’re visiting us from a country other than Australia.
We are an Australian service and think you’d benefit more from looking up a similar service in your country.
You are welcome to look around the forums, but please don’t make an account or post, as we can’t offer you the help you may need.
Before you go ahead and post, you should know that we remove non-Australian accounts – not because we don’t want to help or connect with you, but because we may not be able to provide you with the service that you require.
