Answer Dear Sara,
You son obviously knows that his father is not living with you because visiting his father twice a week is normal(I presume). At three years of age a child does not yet understand the dynamics of a divorce. His tantrums could be the cause of a typical 3yr old and have nothing to do with your relationship with his father or his fathers relationship with his new wife. The communication with your ex-husband is important due to the upbringing of your child, if possible, open those lines of communication with him and if possible with the new wife. It takes a entire village to raise a child. Meaning everyone involved in his life will be of some influence to him. (good or bad) In the best interest of your child, back off on explaining divorce to him and try to keep it simple.
