Morning all, I'm a newbie to this forum.
I'm separated (9yrs ex can't afford divorce). I have three kids 14,13,12 who live with their mum. I'm serving and in a job that means I can't travel freely. I see the kids when I have extended periods of time off.
Ex and eldest relationship is unravelling and the ex is resorting to emotional blackmail of all three but mostly of the eldest. Latest is to stop them from seeing me at new year for a week.
I've no orders in place but I'm getting increasingly worried about the bullying and manipulation of my two eldest girls. Ex father in law won't hear anything apart from a glowing report of my ex and blames the kids for everything that is going on. I'm really struggling with this and feel pretty helpless on what I can do to protect and get the best for the kids.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I think because your absent for long periods, will be difficult to make sure kids are not negatively affected by other parent and family. you could take legal route, but if you will carry on being away for work for long periods, might not make any difference.
