My son still would like to maintain a relationship with me, but his mothers influence, does nothing but denounce's me from any involvement in his life. how do I maintain contact or a relationship with him, if she denies me any form of access, telephone calls, etc Reply to this Question Share |

Your ex is playing emotional blackmail game on you. the person who suffers the most here is your son.
You may have to Court/Mediation services to ensure you get to see your son. Look into this as each case is individual. It will not look favourbly in her part if she makes access difficult.
I feel for her, as this person must have some emotional issues to deal herself, that she has to resort to this, this situation is certainly not healthy for your son to be exposed to.
Sooner or later, your son will see and understand what she is doing, also he will be able to see you voluntarily which his mother will not have control over.
Hope things work out amicably for your son's sake and all concerned.
