My ex-wife has full custody of my son. This was not contested by myself as I wanted as little disruption in his young life (4 at the time) as possible. We divorced for many reasons, and it was relatively civil. I now talk to her 2-3 times a year, and to my son every couple of weeks. All conversation with her is totally superficial in an attempt to maintain the lines of communication with my son.
I love my son and would have him live with me given half a chance, but that is not in the cards at this time. So I will play the game as needed.
My son is now nine yrs. old and is beginning to understand why I left the marriage....maybe in a couple years he will ask to be with me, maybe not. It is all just a part of living and learning.
