My son lives with his stepfather and me, but sees his natural Dad once a year, in summer. They talk all the time on the phone. His Dad calls every Saturday. I know my ex is trying to be a good dad, but he isn’t any good at it. He thinks our son is his friend, and tells him stories about how drunk he was at the bar last night, how he got this girl to go home with him, etc, etc. (My ex is an alcoholic who refuses treatment) My son is 14, and is starting to think this is normal dinner table conversation. I tried once to explain to my ex why these bar stories are not apropriate, and he told me I could put my “uptight morality” where the sun doesn’t shine. My son adores his dad, and I really don’t want to put him down, but how can I explain what’s wrong with his dad without sounding negative?
