hello there im a new dad to my son harry he is my first child and he means everything to me but my ex is making it really difficult for me to see him..i live in bristol and she lives in london she moved there when she was about 4 months gone and we split up soon after but we still talked and i thought we had a good relationship but since he has been born i have only seen him for 3 hours at my house when she bought him up...she is staying with her sister so does,nt have the room for me to stay but i have offered to put her up at mine and she says she is gonna come down weds but does,nt and has said this several times now that i even gave her money to get a deposit on a flat but that wont be ready till after i go back to work...i was hoping that someone might be able to help me with some advice cause i miss my son so badly and just want to see him and spend time with him..
Hi Cawley
Welcome to the site.
It's a shame you boy is so far away and it isn't easy to see him especially as he is so young.
What advice are you looking for?
There's plenty of experience on here so ask anything you need to know.
I would say that if you are talking at the moment then you are doing well, try and keep this going as it can easily go to the not talking stage and then things are twice as hard.
What part of Bristol are you from?

Hi there and welcome to Dadtalk
Was access do you get to your son? do you see him regularly? Are you allowed to have him for holidays, weekends etc?
we have agreed that i can go down and see him for for 4 days every 2 weeks...but like i said previously she will just ring me and say its not possible or tell me that something has popped up and im just supposed to except it..i dont know what advice i was looking for to be honest was just hoping someone had been in a similar situation and had resolved it without the courts etc cause we are on goodish terms at the moment i dont wanna make things harder....
HI Cawley, great to have you on the site. I can't speak from experience but from my time here on the Dadtalk site, there are loads of guys here who have been through what you've been through. And it seems your right, the longer you can keep it away from the courts and resolve it directly with your wife, always seems better. I guess you need to be careful in that and don't give in to everything she says no matter what.
Goo dluck though mate. Keep us posted.
