I have a problem your board has helped me out in the last few weeks and progress is being made, but I am struggling to see the children or even speak to them on the phone.
I have Bi Polar, only type 2 and none psycotic which the doctor has written to my wifes's solicitor about, I can't afford a solicitor due to the nature of bi polar I got into spending problems and whilst I earn a lot have to pay a lot of debt back at the moment.
My wife is very bitter about what has happened and the break up and everything and she has now said she thinks I am dangerous, yet 4 weeks ago we were trying to reconcile and move back in together, she asked me to sort out a house and schools and stuff which I did to much expense then she decided she didn't want to move. However it has been over a year since we lived together and I am not sure what has made her go down this route.
I have never been violent, shout I am very placid in nature and my doctor is supporting this, however I still have no contact with the children. Christians Against Poverty have helped me sort out the financial side and ensure I am not overspending, maintenance is paid correctly (this has actually been overpaid). So there is no reason behind this, I just can't afford a solicitor to go back and find out what is going on fight this. I wrote back answering all her solicitors questions and the questions are full off half truths, so I am finding I always go back with more of the conversations etc which I fully document, and when I say conversation I mean email or text she won't speak to me.
I am not sure where to turn to as it hurts badly that the children who I actually brought up due to her depression I can't even speak to now.
Hi
When you say progress is being made, what is the situation so far - are you seeking a contact order in court?
