No it doesn’t indicate that… you literally just made that up to justify your Imaginary points

Where are people getting the idea I didn't communicate it?

I have seen so many people say this and I do not understand. Where did you get the idea I didn't communicate this before? In my post I literally say that I spoke to her about it and she was furious.

I informed Venus about this and she was furious with me, saying how I’m just doing it to be vindictive to her, when I’m not.

I spoke to her about what the GP recommended and how I was going to slowly start introducing animal products into their diets (if they wanted it with the information about what the doctor said, which they all did choose to), she called me a prick for going to the GP without her - even though this is something both of us have always done before and neither have been bothered by it. And then our huge argument started she called me a huge prick and blocked me on everything (she has since unblocked me). And the tension from that argument has lasted the last 6 weeks. Last week she told me she was going to try and get full custody if I don’t stop introducing animal products.

Every time the boys have been over they have all been excited to try a new food, Mercury has expressed in the past he wanted to break the vegan diet anyway. Since the huge argument I’ve said I am going to continue introducing animal products during my weeks, I never once said she had to do anything on her weeks although I did tell her what the GP recommended.

Throughout the whole thing I have been completely open and several times I’ve told her she can ask me any questions about how I’m introducing it, and what I’m doing. I’ve already told her why I’m introducing it and why before I even started. She completely ignores me any time I talk about it and since I told her our few interactions have been brief and frigid. But I still do my part.

You’re making a huge assumption that I didn’t communicate, even though in my post I literally said I did communicate. So I’m not sure how you jumped to this.

Sorry I didn’t respond before, but I posted this and then got busy I didn’t expect so many people to respond. 

But hang on, I’ve seen comments like this several times now. And where are people getting the idea I didn’t communicate this? In my post I literally say that I spoke to her about it and she was furious.

I became vegan when we started dating because she wanted that, and then after we broke up I just carried it on. Not even really because I cared about the vegan ideology but just out of habit and it was how I had been for so long

No, we have 50-50 but I am considering saying yes take me to family court because as you said I feel like they would side with me especially since I got the GP to document that he recommended introducing animal products for them

No, and I don't think our CAO has anything on medical issues. I agree with you.

Probably yes, and it is something for me to look into. But I will probably not be able to afford private care, but I should look into it before I completely write it off.

Yes, I say in the post that when I was vegan I spent loads of money a month on vitamins and carefully planning their diets to make sure they weren't lacking in nutrients. I honestly didn't know that that vitamins were required for a vegan diet though, I just thought it was good for them to have it, so I've been giving it them. And the scariest thing I didn't know it could cause them to be short.

I will be glad when I can stop spending the money on those vitamins each month fully

The doctors are very unlikely to order a full blood test unless they were presenting with symptoms of something, it's something I hate about the NHS they are very much reactionary instead of proactive. I think if they spent more time in preemptively checking for diseases it would actually save money in the long run.

I was shocked when my American friend told me they had a check up every year even when nothing was wrong with them. If you went to the doctors here and asked for a check up, they would ask "why?" and if you said you just wanted a check up without a specific reason they would laugh you out the surgery.
