I'm a little slow tonight... what exactly is the problem? Are you able to bullet point it for me?

Son appears to be being taught that I am not his father and this new boyfriend of my ex is.

Oh, that sucks!

Hearing my Son tell this guy that I'm not his real dad, and calling him dad is tearing me apart.

Yes, I can understand!

Don't know what to do about it.

Hmmm, Well, by law you should get to spend time with him. So make sure that you keep him informed... Can't hurt to tell him some absurd things about his mother and her family. I'm trying to think of a few things that would really upset her, but not mess him up for life... :-)

Mark is right, just spend plenty of time with him. As he becomes more aware of the world he will understand. At the moment very little of the complex human interactions of this world make any sense to him anyway.

Problem is I'm not sure how many times I can continue to hear him call this guy daddy in front of me, indeed, when we're both in the same room (ignoring the serious awkwardness issues that abound) and he's told to go to ask daddy something, he goes to this other guy.

I've tried correcting him (something his mother refuses to do) but to no avail.

I honestly don't know how much more I can take before I crack on this.

Hmmm, My thinking is always refer to his mother by name, rather than "mother" or "Mum"... get him into that habit so she can see the effect of depersonalization first hand.

Hey the_leander! Any chance of editing the subject line of your original post to something a little shorter... It currently is a bit of a pain to view on my iPhone's ickle screen :-)
