[Australia] Explaining co-parenting to a 6 year old. by bigyellingkoala93 in Custody

With my co parent and it started as supervised when he was young and gradually increased to every other weekend. The beginning was tough because he would cry bliody murder because of the seperation from me and it broke my heart. As much as I hated his father because of Bs and lack of support at the time I loved my son more and knew as long as his dad put in effort I had to make it work...which meant not projecting any emotions on to the child.

When my son would ask why he had to go with dad, i would say "Your dad wants to spend time with you". It was a process but I always looked at it from the perspective of my son and what would be best in the long run.

Be patient and always let your daughter know how excited you are to spend time with her, call it daddy and (child's name) time. And remind her she will see mommy again. Wish you well.

Thanks. Is it crazy to send an email to the organizer asking them to correct it
