We estranged from both sides eventually. We had four children, and once the older two started to notice the problems, we called it a day.
I suppose we’re different in that our children saw, and so were able to decide for themselves. The younger two didn’t though, and had to take what we said as truth.
We always told them to go and visit their grandparents once they were old enough, but none ever have, except for one of my daughters, who briefly got in contact, because we had a short estrangement from her. It didn’t last....
Just be honest with your son. It’s all you can do. You’ve got plenty of ‘ back up ‘ by the sounds of it.
Life is too short to spend it with difficult people.
All the best.
