Woo! Hoo! After fighting like a dog through this unjust and corrupt Court system of our I finally got to spend 2 amazing hours with my beautiful amazing 11 month year old Daughter.
The Contact Centre staff were amazing and it was very well run and I instantly felt at ease, on arrival I had a little induction and was sent into the waiting area whilst my ex brought my Daughter in to the play area I was told that as my Girl is so young the ex had to be there throughout the contact session.
The ex just sat there throughout absolutely stone faced and would not utter one word to me at all it was shameful, My Daughter was fine with me I was well shocked as I hadn't seen her for nearly 10 months but she came straight over with a smile on her face, the centre staff were amazed at how well we got on and at how at ease she was with me.
All the toys I got her were perfect I took her some cheese sandwiches bread sticks and milk which she loved I cant believe she's walking at 10 months bless her.
All in all it couldn't of gone any better and even though an hour is short it's long enough for a baby of her age, I never crowded her and only picked her up twice I let her come to me on each occasion I hate to admit it but this is deffo the best way to introduce my Girl to me after not seeing her for so long.
I was shocked by the ex she made herself look like a fool and acted so childish she simply can't grasp that we have to get on for the sake of our Daughter she went on like a spoilt brat throughout although I'm going to try and build bridges at each contact session so at least I can say I tried.
We are in court next tuesday when the ex will receive her first bollocking for ignoring the contact order in the first place so hopefully this will shock her into complying with the order from now on.
I though I would be on a downer but after not seeing my Girl for so long 2 weeks is no time to wait to see her again, I feel like my life has been on hold for the past year so It feel good I can crack on with it again.
All I can say to those of you who have also been stopped from seeing your child is DON"T GIVE UP!! there is no other option but to fight on no matter how hard it gets you have to fight for your flesh and blood, you WILL get to be part of your childs life it is the law!
A very happy Slim x
Awww Slim, so happy for you, can't begin to imagine how happy you must have been 🙂 🙂 🙂 Looks like things are finally going in the right direction. Well done hun, you've fought tooth and nail for this, your daughter is a very lucky girl.....Good luck for the hearing as well....
Thanks Guys 🙂
You can't beat a bit of man love Greyling lol 🙂
I'll take back what I said about the contact centre staff (see my ex on the back foot post) 🙂
Cheers mate its been a long time coming that was the hardest 9 months of my life but atleast contact has started 🙂
Cheers mate to be honest im dreading it I've had enough of my ex messing me about lieing through her back teeth all the time and ending up back in court I'm gutted she used contact and befriended the CC manager to have a go at me it put a dampener on the day, we are in court because she ignored the original order to postpone contact for so long and I've got nothing o worry about but it's just more hassle I don't need hopefully they should kick her into touch
