child of divorce seems to take dad's side

I am a divorced mother of one 9 year old son.  I have been with my son every day for most of his life.  Why does he not speak badly of and/or stick up for his dad but will tell his dad things about me?

Idk why this happens but I DO KNOW it hurts like hell. Give it time. Things will level out.

I should also add that my son and I are very close and understand each other better than anyone.  I have been his primary caregiver since birth.  His dad and I have only been separated for 8 months.
