MedHelp Member's Question

my four and a half year old

by shanook, Feb 02, 2008 01:11PM

I am in desperate need of advice. My four year old tells me he does not love me and does not want to live with me. He says he wants to live with his father. I do not know how to handle this at all. I don't know what to do or what to say to him. Please help me and my son.

With such limited information it is difficult to guide you. I'm inferring from what you are saying that there is conflcit between you and your son's father. Is this right? Would you offer more information about the family situation so that I can reply with more substance?
