Bill,
That’s not a fair comment. You don’t know people’s circumstances.
Bill, Jellybean is right. All circumstances are different. In my case the door was shut in my face for years, despite all my efforts to keep a good relationship.
hi,
I am not generalising at all. there are also some mothers out there that have abandoned their children for good, just because they broke up with the dad.
A lot of people do get on with their kids, and their ex partners, after a divorce and maintenance and contact aren't a problem - we generally don't hear about the cases, because they don't need advice and don't need to come on sites such as this as there isn't an issue to discuss - they are really probably the silent majority, and I've know a lot of people personally who do this. The problem is then that the minority of difficult cases are the ones we hear about, and there are a lot of differences, which means that they are difficult to resolve with a one-size-fits-all solution
