Having problems with my son's visits to my ex and was wondering what is meant by tip no. 10:
Try to keep areas of your life that offer safety and security in place.
This is from Top 10 tips for parenting alone.
Can anyone go into any more detail?
I agree, Bubblegum......PLUS make sure you as the parent have somewhere to feel safe and secure too 
I agree, louise... If you're not feeling safe and secure a child would probably pick up on that and possible have his or her own feelings of security undermined.

Routine and normality for your child, the places he feels safe, the things he does, his home, home life and you, his extended family. Despite what ever is going on for him between you and your ex, to ensure that he feels home life goes on happily. That all that is OK.
That he doesn't have to deal, or it's kept to a minimum at least, with what is happening between you and your ex, so he can come home and be happy and his life is as 'normal' as possible.
That's what it means to me anyway.
