my other kids r 15, 9, 8, n 7. The lil ones says he is their fave bro n just want time w him. i movd to nc in2010from va where he still is. His dad is no help n im not able to try for custody right now. i just want to get through to him. tryingfor harmony is too much it seems. his dad just got engaged and the woman has 4 kids moved in this wknd they had only been dating 2wks. this will b his 3rd marriage. he still spends time w his first xstepson n he even lives there on occassion. his dad treats the other boy as if he were the son he wanted instead of the one he has.
I just want peace n to make sure he knows i love him. he doesnt want to accept affection but i hug him anyway. when i tell him i love him he says no u dont or only when its conveinent. i dont know what to do....
The best way to keep them from doing wrong is to keep him busy and I mean very busy, get his into sports get him into working with the elderly things like that.
Why can't you push for custody?
To be honest, you can't change your ex. You don't have control over the ex's household. Unless you get custody, I think you're pretty limited to support your son by being there for him when he needs you. Do you talk to your son regularly when he's at his dad's? How much of an effort do you make to be involved in his life?
Can you Skype with him? Get at least 1, maybe 2 days a week where you can talk to him and ask how things are going? My friend is going through a custody issue and it's mandated in her paperwork that the DD talk to the non-custodial parent at least 1x a week and Skype at least 1x per week.

My son has a friend whose father is in another country, and his dad still talks to him daily--mainly through Skype. But also through Facebook and regular phone calls.

WOW. Sounds like a clusterf*** of bad decisions on the part of ALL the adults in this kid's life. You say you're not able to try for custody 'right now' -- WHY?? He's your son, and he is on the wrong track. Isn't he worth the effort???
