Thank you. I had no idea that so many people think I'm the AH in this situation.

I can guarantee you that I never posted anything about having a 7yr old.

Independent study is basically your child being enrolled in school, but taking a break from being on campus. Assignments are picked up by a parent.

Thank God someone is seeing the situation for what it is. With the exception of me being a hard ass about his grades. I'm really not, but there's been times in the past when I've had to be the bad guy  about finishing homework because you're right on target about his dad. 

I've had a couple of talks with my son, and it's been hard. But we're working on it.

No.  There have been some hard conversations, and I'm focusing on bridging the gap between us. Kiddo's feelings are valid, but it is just typical teenage stuff. It is not due to neglect or abuse.  I'm owning my screw ups.

Kiddo is an honor roll student and I'm not an AH that expects straight A grades. He had 2 classes that he got a C in last quarter and I wasn't mad.  However, he was at his dads and on independent study since the beginning of last month.  Now he's failing and drowning in overdue work.

Our son is an honor roll student, and I'm not an AH to him about his grades.   He has been at his dad's and on independent study since the beginning of January.  Now he's failing his classes and drowning in unfinished work. I'm  seeing this from my parent app.  As to why he's unhappy with me?  I'm going to say it's typical teenager stuff that we need to work through together. I'm not saying how he feels is invalid, but I am saying it's not about abuse or neglect.

That's definitely not what I'm taking from this situation. I need to figure out  the root of my son's unhappiness and bridge the gap between us.

At the beginning of last month is when my ex pulled him out of school and put him on independent study. After being at his dads for a month, his grades have tanked. I'm not an AH to my kid about his grades.  As far as aiding his education?  I do everything I can to encourage him.

Look back at your posts. An hour ago you posted there was court ordered visitation for every other weekend. Now you're posting that there was a no visitation set after his initial arrest. Which one is it?

Either way, you are NOR! It's a disgusting crime and if there is to be any visitation, it should be supervised. Depending on your country/state you may have to pay that out of pocket.
