Each time my son goes to see his father, I get a phone call telling me there is no food in the house. My son tells me he’s starving. “Dad never feeds us!” He’s 14! He needs to eat.

I don’t want my son to be hungry and since I rarely talk to his dad, I just have something quick like fast food delivered. Then I get angry texts from his dad about how I am interfering! How am I interfering? Our child is hungry. It’s strange because his father loved to cook when we were together. Now he’s such a flake, he never feeds the kids. I don’t know what to do. What’s good ex-etiquette?
