Hi,
After almost 3 years of constant battling with my ex. We decided to give mediation a try.
I have contacted the mediation to sort out whats involved only yesterday we had another massive arguement which resulted in me basically snapping at my exs mother cause my ex got her to call me.
I agree to have my son 2 nights a week and return him for 6pm, but every week she is always late or changing the location i drop him off, yesterday she was a 1hrs drive away there and back and txted me at 3pm to say she was there and her car wont start so I have to drop him there. I argued that she had 3 hours to get a bus home or some other form of transport as this is every week, which resulted in her mother calling me and asking me whats my problem why cant I drop him off, I snapped saying its every week etc etc, they finally agreed to come and get him and turned up at 7:15pm in the car that wouldnt start. Her mum was very demanding saying leave mediation you just contact me with your days off work and we will sort it from there. I personally think this will not work and will create problems again in the future, but on the other hand do I give it a go to keep the peace??
Hi There,
I Think you should continue with mediation, while there you can explain all of your concerns about the changes to times and locations ect and have them addressed if you just go with what her mother has suggested then you will continue to be where you are now.
