Dear Sean:

When your son, at 3, said that his mother is sad, that means that he feels responsible for her being sad. This is how children think, they don’t perceive a separate mother.

He thinks: she is sad AND I made her sad. He is thinking he is not a good boy, an inadequate or bad boy and this is why his mother is sad.

It would be a good choice if you selected a strong legal representative, someone who (unlike you) is not intimidated by the mother of your child, someone not vulnerable to her pushing their buttons, someone who does not long for her still, like you do.

A strong legal representative who will do his very best to remove your son from his mother’s custody. Your son is being damaged as I am typing this, as you go about your day. Have a strong legal representative operate aggressively so to remove your son from his abusive mother’s custody. Please.
