I have just finished going through a divorce. My ex and I have a 5 year old daughter and I have a 16 year old son from a previous marriage. I am getting messages from my ex telling me that our daughter says that my son is mean to her. That he trips her and is mean and that he’d better not hear that this continues. He wants me to keep the children separated and not have my son while our daughter is with me. I find these messages alarming. I explained that my son cannot even walk past our daughter without her yelling at him that she hates him and he’s a stupid brother. My son is somewhat on the spectrum. He does not like physical contact of any kind and he is very quiet. I have seen these interactions. He is not laying a hand on her. But beyond any of that, siblings bicker and I cannot put a complete stop to it. While her dad seemed to somewhat understand, I don’t know what to do the next time this happens. I have spoken to my son and continue daily to correct Gracie. It’s so stressful because I cannot control their reactions to one , ultimately. Does anyone have any helpful advice? Is there a better way to handle any of this? My heart races everytime I see a message from my ex.
