I'm dating a man who has been separated from his children.. He is allowed to see his 8 yr old as much as he like's however his 19 month old son he is only getting an hour a week at their home her condition are he must be alone is only allowed from 6pm till 7pm .. His daughter get's very upset as she does not understand why they spend all the time at mummy's boyfriends and her little brother call's him dad .. Yet her dad is not allowed to see him she know's they both have the same dad .. I've kinda tried to explain you can have step dad's it's not a problem she call's me by my name which is fine and has told her brother about me .. I have 4 adult children with 7 grand children it sicken's me how people use their children as a weapon against their estranged partner's what ever the break up is about your children did not ask or cause it .. It should remain between the adult's ..
hi Bunnykins
It's very unfortunate when parents use children, and it's even more sad when it's splits siblings. Has your partner looked at mediation and possibly a contact order?
Hi Bunnykin and welcome 🙂
Its shameful the way some mothers behave and it always the children that suffer in the end....such selfishness! Fortunately I believe its a small minority that act in this way, just as its very few dads that dont do the right thing. In the grand scheme of things most parents want to be the best that they can be thank goodness! 🙂
If your partner wants some advice and support to try and change the situation, there are lots of members with tons of experience on here and there are things he could do. 🙂
