Question
I am going through a separation with my husband, who has the interim custody of my 8 yr old son. I would like to know how to deal with my child, who meets me only for a few hours in a week and is constantly being brainwashed by his father to not keep any contact with me. I do not want to put any further pressure on the child. But in the process I am losing my son.
Answer
This is a very delicate issue to handle and is emotionally traumatic not only to you but also your son. He needs to be handled with care. Try and enjoy the time that you get with him- he is old enough to be your friend. Share your love and enquire into his fears and phobias gently so that he learns to open up with you and can be your friend too. Try not to ridicule his father as it will only make him go farther away from both of you. If possible sit and discuss with your husband the effect of these negative attitudes on your son and assure him that you are not trying to take away your son from him. It requires lot of understanding and maturity on both your part. Back to All Questions
