Hi friends,
My 2 daughters are refusing to see me and have told me that they want nothing to do with me, they have even started using their mothers maiden name. Has anyone else had any experience of this nature or similar. I live over 6hrs away from them, registered disabled, only working part time and this is being used against me. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Hi there
I'm sorry to hear about your situation with your daughters, could I ask how old they are? This will make a big difference to how you may be able to manage it.
How is your relationship with your ex? Again that would have a bearing on things.
Living such a long distance away can place limitations on contact and without the mothers cooperation between visits, growing apart can be an issue that seems to worsen as the children get older.
If your children are still young enough, you could think about mediation and if that didn't work, the only other option would be applying to court for a Child Arrangements Order.
All the best
