Q: my 12 year old son is expressing to me that he can't take the stress and anxiety that he is feeling during time with dad
he calls me thru facebook and looks very worried and nervous but when i say i will come get him even though its not my day he says no it will just make it worse. his anxiety and stress just seems to be getting worse. he father and i have joint custody and shared placement since the divorce. his father is not a easy man to talk to, when i did try he just screamed at me and told me that he would sell his house and spend the profit to be sure that i would never see my son again. i just don't know what to do to help my child and what my options are because i cannot afford a lawyer to fight him in court. any advice would be greatlt appriciated.
