It can be tough at times going through what we are going through. I have been going to court most of this year and by the looks of things will be doing the same in the new year too. This is such a wonderful forum and I have learned so much here which has helped. I am seeing my child thankfully but it has been tough.
I am keen to meet regularly with other fathers going through the same things over a beer to share experiences and advice and give each other support where possible. Goes without saying that I am not seeing my child over Christmas as M has gone abroad with him so am pretty available to meet up. Anyone about to go to court, recently separated to people who have been going through this for. Just to make new friends who understand.
Give me a shout via the private message if you are keen.
I live near Paddington.
Merry Christmas.
Have you thought of attending a Families Need Fathers meeting, there are a few in London. Here's a link to their website where you'll find details of meetings nationally.

All the best
