We were married for ten years and my little boy is eight.
We split up because I would get drunk sometimes but I’m trying hard to stay sober.
She allowed me to see him a few times after throwing me out but now she won’t let me see him at all.
I miss taking him to his football matches so much. I’ve not seen him for almost a year now. And I’m getting nowhere with her.
She says our son is better off without me but I know he loves me and I love him.
I’m living back in my father’s house and Dad has a comfortable home with a big back garden.
He’s missing out on seeing his grandson, too.

My ex says I’m a bad influence but she’s so nasty. I don’t think she’s a good influence either.
What can I do?
