My boy is now having nightmares going on a year later. And the ex and I came to an agreement, handled things ourselves and had no lawyers involved. Not to say it was easy, and there weren't fights, but as far as divorces go it wasn't messy.

I need to find the little guy some counseling or something so we can address his fears and help him work through them.
