Sharing Mum and Dad

Post by Nos89 »

Did anyone watch Tim Lovejoys programme on how important it is for the children to have both parents in their lives?
I'm going through a pretty diabolical divorce and being denied access to my daughters by my wife who up until september last year I was the primary carer for, while the wife got on in her career. She's gone down the dirty divorce road and as my solicitor said, she's stitched me up good and proper with a well planned divorce strategy.
Has anyone on here been through this and got any advice on what else I can do?

Jesus, sorry to hear that, mate. I'm very happily married with two lovely children so I have no real advice... but I've seen mates go through bitter divorces and it is shocking how nasty and veangeful the process can become.

Maybe sit her down and ask her can she try and keep it someway civil for the kids' sakes if nothing else? Because the kids (if they are old enough to understand what's happening) may blame themselves for it.

Honestly, I hope you get through it ok, mate.

Sorry to hear nos89, going through it myself right now - been seperated for 6 months (doesn't time fly when you are having fun :D :D :D ) and going down the divorce path at the mo.

Feel free to pm me if you want a chat, I had a few offers from guys on here and tbh sometimes its easier to speak openly with someone who doesn't really know you or your other half.

Best of luck, in my case my wife is letting me see my kids when it is convenient to her - ie when she works and needs a babysitter and is sitting pretty in the family house only having to pay half the mortgage, while I pay rent and half a mortgage too. :banghead:

But, long term it will get sorted out, so keep your head high and soldier on :box: :box:
