Share | Does your relationship feel like a 5-1 defeat?
It can be difficult-especially at Christmas-to leave partner, children, home and start anew. You may not have to.
We encourage all clients to think about Marriage/Relationship Counselling.
If the relationship has ended that does not mean you should be cut off from your children. You can mediate, you can negotiate and, if necessary, you can litigate.
Men especially are put under a lot of pressure to keep the kids out of it and to agree with whatever contact the ex allows. In fact this behaviour by the ex-unless of course the contact is reasonable-is putting the children right in the middle of the dispute as weapons to punish and control the former partner.
Many men go along with it whilst goodness knows what is being told to the children. We have had situations where men have been so compliant with the ex partner's demands that they were unaware that the children were being told that Daddy no longer cared.
If it is at all possible both adult parties should agree contact that allows the children equal access to both parents.
Children need their parents-both parents. They too can suffer terribly if the divorce is conducted like some horrific PS 3 war game.
