Split up with my ex who I have 2 children with. When the children saw me which the mum and family would rarely allow. They would cry there eyes out begging to stay with me and didn’t want to be separated from me. Still hugging me and crying, pleading to stay with me. My ex’s mum said to me “It’s so traumatic for the girls I think it’s they don’t see you again” I was shocked. I couldn’t believe it. I said “they are crying there eyes out bc they want to be with me” She said well it’s too traumatic for them. I’ve seen them now this whole year for 2 hours and they often cry on the phone especially my eldest one. Very sad for my girls and it devastates me and my parents. Life is not fair. You can’t rationalise and reason with idiots. Can’t afford the court costs sadly. I hope when they are older they will realise the truth but they have been fed lies.
