Hi 😃
Iβve been separated and divorced for over 4 years now, relationship with my boys mum has always been βstrainedβ and mainly focussed on how much more money she can get from me.
Recently I have found out that my 12 year old has been made to go to counselling - he told he about it when I collected him.
I messaged βmumβ saying that I was a little shocked that we hadnβt talked about this and it really is a subject that involves both of us making the decision - I also asked what her concerns are etc.
Β
No reply, other than blocking me, so none of my messages go through 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Β
Is the normal/acceptable? I donβt think it is, but I just never know anymore!!Β
Thanks Iβm advance

hi, I would say this is not normal at all. I would assume that he is going to counselling on his own, in which case, I would hope that the counsellor will be able to get that he is being coerced.
