"Keep records. Have you approached mediation or courts? It's always a tough thing but kids are very resilient Yes tried mediation he didn't turn up " If he didn't attend mediation they will give you a letter stating that. Then you're within your rights to stop him seeing them and force him through the courts where a proper structure and conditions of contact will be set in place. Seems harsh but, if you have legitimate concerns, that's the route we'd take. | |||

It's stopped 90% of the trouble because you can have things in a court order which bring penalties. Seems harsh, and he may not even turn up to court, but you have to do your best by the children. | |||

"No not the place for this if you ask me. I have dramas with my ex all the time over my kids so know there's always 2 sides to every story! I'm not saying you are wrong or he is. I'm just saying parents (both sides) often jump to conclusions and do/say things which all to often happens in front of or affects the kids directly or indirectly in a negative way. If you are that bothered then instead of getting upset or annoyed about it swallow your contempt and try speaking to him without getting annoyed. Easy to say I know. Like I said it's easy to listen to one side and make judgement. In my case seeing them for a weekend costs me in excess of £400 so as much as I'd like to see them, I don't get to see them as often as I'd like. The fact it costs me £140 just in petrol is irrelevant to my ex. If I haven't got the money I should teleport, at least that's how it feels sometimes. After taking a mouth full I ask the question "why don't you bring them to me then for a change?" It's a completely different story. Stop letting yourself get wound up about it. As long as he's looking after them and they're safe then you can't make him take the kids out. Getting wound up about it will just result in the kids picking up on negativity between you. " Good post. | |||

" Without going into too much detail he has been warned if he goes off at me again he will be arrested . So as you can see it's very difficult for me to discuss anything with him . So I have to trust that he will do right by them | |||

"Wish I hadn't posted now pretty certain someone will turn it against me " That is the danger with an open forum. It's tough for you at the moment but they may end up having a great week. He may not do things the way that you would do them with the children but that doesn't mean he won't do things with them. It's a testing time but it is important for children to spend time with both parents. I hope when you hear from them again they are telling you about the good time they are having. If they have a bad time then they will be even more excited to see you. | |||

"Wish I hadn't posted now pretty certain someone will turn it against me " We have been there so have experience. Sometimes, however hard it is for others to see, it isn't always both parents fault. You are obviously trying to do right by your children because you believe that two parents are important, which is commendable. However, if he wouldn't sit down at mediation then obviously he doesn't feel the same way. This happened with me and why I had to take the court route, which is very tough for a father to do believe me! But, and this is important, when you feel you have no option, when the other parent isn't willing to be reasonable, the courts is your best approach. As some background I was stopped from seeing my daughter for a year by my ex, because my ex assaulted my wife! I would do whatever it takes for my child, a fact my ex greatly underestimated. So the courts put an order in place and it stopped, even though she still tests it. Don't take any criticism, you have posted because you need to talk. If you want to inbox us you can. Like we said its not about bad dads or bad mothers, just some people are bad. Chin up. | |||

Not just physically safe, psychologically too. If you are worried get child services involved. Can you talk to them on the phone every night? At least you'll get an idea of if they are ok. | |||

No He gets to see them at this n that time etc. Keep your dignity, dont show him the hurt, and most of all dont bad mouth him to the kids, they will make their own minds up and in time, realise who is there for them, who isn't.

Im glad you didnt reply with 'we split because I/he had an affair' I am sorry though your answer was down the abuse road, nobody should suffer that. He loves them that is such a big thing, so big some of the smaller stuff like his lazyness dosent matter. I cant stand my ex, we get on superbly though and our child dosent see us argue anymore, all she see's is us getting on. I have every right to fucking hate the cow, I don't, I just dont love her. | |||
