I’m not at the court stage yet. We have a joint mediation appointment next week but just to be extra awkward she is doing it via zoom shuttle.
I’m not wanting to mud sling, I have real concerns about the hostile environment my child is growing up in. And the long term damaging effects.
I just want contact but she is refusing unless it’s under her control and supervision. She won’t even let me take our child to the park. It has to be done in her way how she wants it. Massively controlled.
I just hope that they listen to me at the mediation.
*Update*
So I have a first joint mediation session this week but just to be extra awkward she wants it in a shuttle.
What should I expect at mediation? What should or shouldn’t I say?
I also contacted Mens Advice for help and support for the psychological and emotional abuse I went through with my ex.
When should I bring this up? Who should I tell? What things can be put in place?
I also have concerns about the hostile environment that my child is growing up in and the long term damaging effects it could have. Social services didn’t want to know.
