Yes, it must be very frustrating. Do you get involved with the school? If you are on the birth certificate, so having parental rights, you are entitled to reports etc. You need to know if your son is presenting well at school. Another thought if its been going on for years, is your son at an age he can use public transport (if there is any). Other than that, is there a family member who might help?
@champagne no he’s still really young so it’s even harder. family have been able to help on the odd occasion but it’s not enough. I’ve recently missed two weeks of seeing him because of this whereas this was never an issue before and I’m really worried about my bond with him. She’s punishing me because I wasn’t able to leave work last minute to have him for a few hours so that she could go out with her friends even though I couldn’t exactly just leave work for no reason, not like he was unwell! I really do try my best with my son but I feel like she’s constantly keeping score and playing immature games. If she’s not directly stopping me from seeing him for a month, she’s making it very difficult to. I think court may be my only option, even if it does take a while at least I will be able to consistently see him
