Hmm ...I think 1976maggie might have more than a passing interest here...it strikes me that she may have a personal connection, it would explain the unwarranted attack!
That was my exact thought too....... A clear attack...! How very sad 🙁
Maggie, I am a mother of 3 although between my partner and I we have 5. We have various issues with my fiances ex who has a history I won't disclose. My point here is that my older two children are from a previous relationship and I do everything I can to make life easy with him for the sake of the kids, he is their dad and despite the sometimes unforgivable arguments we've had, I work with him on the kids and make compromises so that they have regular good times with their day and they are happy at home. I have been honest with both my older kids with everything and also encourage their time with their dad and do you know why??? Because that is their dad and he has as much right to have them and watch them grow up as me, despite any financial matters or issues that arise, it's not the kids argument and by stopping dads from seeing their kids is only punishing them, what kind of a mother would be so spiteful? I feel so strongly about this and a lot of mothers you there need to remember it's not about them, I'm disgusted there is no law to help in these situations. If it was a case of an abusive father then I would totally understand if a mother stops access but the same goes if it were the other way round. My kids are grounded, honest and stable and I do everything I can to make sure they continue to be happy with me at home and with their dad. Please..... All you mums out there who stop access for their own personal reasons, know that the child/children will grow up and WILL gather their own opinion and you as a mother will be the cause of their issues that arise due to this. Stop and think, I'm not sticking up for dads purely, I'm sticking up for all those kids that grow up with the right to their own views and equal love from both parents. These kids were not all made by one partner, remember that
Thank you vick - that was a brilliant post, and well done to both you and your ex for getting the priorities right 🙂
