Hey @Paulette 

This is an awfully upsetting scenario and my heart is breaking for you 💔. 

I would love to share a cuppa with you. I am sitting here with you tonight and sending through a GIANT hug xxx

Hi @Former-Member ,

Thankyou so much. I'm consumed by equal parts of sheer anger, despair, numbness, resignation and betrayal. I know the tenuous ties my children might? still possess get severed more each day. It's a fight to get up go to work. Rinse and repeat....How could I compete with the wealthy new family. No wonder my children don't want me love me anymore. I haven't the strength to beg to or have any further dealings with the cruelest individuals I have ever met. I've been crushed down and ignored too many times. It is by a legal order that I am permitted to see my children. Yet how is there any point when the children don't want contact. Lovely news to hear after 10 weeks of silent. I can't imagine any improvement. Yet I need to see the so called carers as giving in lets them win. Not sure how to fight the constant put downs about me which is having a deep influence on my children. I'll never be the same again.

Thankyou @Abner

Dear @Paulette ,

I am so sorry to hear what has happened. I'm sitting with you at this time.

I do not have the power to change what has happened, but I am able to empathise and provide you the company you may want right now. 

Please be kind to yourself. Holding your hand through this grief.

Kindest, tyme

Hi @tyme @Bow @Paulette @Former-Member @Abner would like to share a cuppa with you all.

Cold here too with intermittent rain. Too cold 🥶 to go anywhere.

Night in for me - hot chocolate would be lovely.

Hoping everyone is well.

Yes, @Paulette when your children are involved, the emotional stakes are high. I also think it is hard to shake that competitive thought process. Kids can be unsure of how to respond to external scenarios too. Have you been able to get some advice from a parenting support program or person?? Sometimes access to these kind of services can give you strategies to bridge the gap in a child friendly way. I am sure you are already doing this, but sometimes it can be helpful to have an outside perspective. 

Are you with someone tonight?
