I had my son this weekend, he was sick running a feaver. Tonight when I took him back to his moms he started to cry wanting to stay with not his mom.I carry him into the house, him crying the whole way and sit down in the floor with him in my lap. He reaches around my neck and is screaming that he doesn't want to stay with his mom that he wants to stay with me. I try talking to him and tell him that he has spend the whole weekend with me now it is time for him to stay with mommy, trying to get him to calm down the whole time.. She walks over glabs him under his arms from behind him and pulls him away from me, he is screaming at the top of his lungs, " I want to stay whit my daddy". She then tells me that I should have never come into the house. He left scratch marks on my neck where he was trying to hold on to me... After he pulled him off os me she took him into the bedroom, I just got up off the floor and left. I cried all the way home.
Why couldn't she just let me hold him till he calmed down. I feel that my son deserves better than this. What can I do? I feel so helpless!!!!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" />

I am sorry about all the type o's but i was and am still very upset about all if this. Will someone please talk to me about this and maybe help me understand why my exw is acting this way. I thought I was doing right by trying to talk him into wanting to stay with her. I just hurts me that she blames it on my saying that should have never come in the house. It is always my fault.
I try to be the best dad that I can be, I want be there for him when he is sick, but looks like i can't. <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" />

needto,
Sending huge hugs your way. I have no clue as to you and XW's situation. However, she should have let you stay and comfort your son till he calmed down. I am truly sick of BITTER women that put their needs above the best interest of their child/ren. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" /> Enough already.

I understand you felt powerless. That sucks. Just keep on being the best dad you can be. Maybe in time you 2 can work more amicably for your son's sake. tew
