How do you all communicate with the mother/father of your children if you dont get on and can the courts force you to get on ! . I think email as its easier to print off if required and find if needed, and phone only if emergancies and my son has been asked to do a communication book at handover.
The only reason communication has broken down between them is that she is so controlling and its all no , and all my way or no way. so hense the disagreements then thats abuse apparently if he objects. she stated all communication was to be done by me but I now fear in cafcass eyes im now the medling grannie, so im thinking of emailing her and saying as from now send emails to my son as they need to start talking again, Im not expecting them to be friends but they need to communicate for the sake of their Daughter and its making me feel ill to be honest
when we pick up and drop off she does not even come to collect her daughter a friend does
I have no communication at all with my ex and it's pure bliss. I did need to communicate with my ex mother-in-law last year as I was taking my kids up to see her - did that by letter, and got a reply by letter.
When I did need to communicate with my ex originally, I kept it very brief, and by text only eventually, until I got tired of her abusive/offensive texts and then cut it completely. If it was involving contact, then it used to be direct to the contact centre and they'd pass it on.
