My children are with their dad this week .
He didn't turn up for them yesterday to get at me . My friend dropped them off with him .
They just called me as my little one has been naughty and drawn on the wall
Not surprised as they told me they not even been outside all day 
I want to go get my babies I am in bits
I am trying so hard for them to spend time with him and I get abuse or he just does nothing with them

Awww hun I really really feel for you, it's so hard to do what you are doing, knowing what happens when you let them go.
Don't be on your own hun see if you can have friends with you who understand what you are going through and can support you.
Make sure you keep in touch with them and try to stay upbeat when you talk to them or they will pick up your worry and react negatively xx
Good luck xxx |

Angel, if you can't offload from time to time, then when would you do it?
I find stories like this a little upsetting where ex-partners almost use kids in a game of chess....
Big hugs for you at this time ((((( )))))
Keep notes, seek advice, stay strong and I bet a lot of people are with you xx |

Massive hugs. I think if he didn't collect as arranged I wouldn't have dropped them off he doesn't deserve them. It's about the children not getting at you. Hope they do have a good time though x |

If he didn't attend mediation they will give you a letter stating that. Then you're within your rights to stop him seeing them and force him through the courts where a proper structure and conditions of contact will be set in place. Seems harsh but, if you have legitimate concerns, that's the route we'd take. |

Aww I know exactly how you feel...I had the same for years with my ex and it is heartbreaking
My 'kids' are now 20 and 18 and both now choose to have no contact with their dead beat father. They appreciate that I did the best possible job bringing them up alone and the three of us are as close as we could possibly be. My ex will never know how wonderful MY children have turned out to be....and believe me it is his loss!
I am sure that things will get better for you
Hugs xxx

No not the place for this if you ask me. I have dramas with my ex all the time over my kids so know there's always 2 sides to every story! I'm not saying you are wrong or he is. I'm just saying parents (both sides) often jump to conclusions and do/say things which all to often happens in front of or affects the kids directly or indirectly in a negative way.
If you are that bothered then instead of getting upset or annoyed about it swallow your contempt and try speaking to him without getting annoyed. Easy to say I know.
Like I said it's easy to listen to one side and make judgement. In my case seeing them for a weekend costs me in excess of £400 so as much as I'd like to see them, I don't get to see them as often as I'd like. The fact it costs me £140 just in petrol is irrelevant to my ex. If I haven't got the money I should teleport, at least that's how it feels sometimes.
After taking a mouth full I ask the question "why don't you bring them to me then for a change?" It's a completely different story.
Stop letting yourself get wound up about it. As long as he's looking after them and they're safe then you can't make him take the kids out. Getting wound up about it will just result in the kids picking up on negativity between you. |

Speaking from experience, and having over 10yrs of abuse from an ex, court, although drastic, is the best action.
It's stopped 90% of the trouble because you can have things in a court order which bring penalties.
Seems harsh, and he may not even turn up to court, but you have to do your best by the children.

Without going into too much detail he has been warned if he goes off at me again he will be arrested . So as you can see it's very difficult for me to discuss anything with him . So I have to trust that he will do right by them |

"Wish I hadn't posted now pretty certain someone will turn it against me "
That is the danger with an open forum.
It's tough for you at the moment but they may end up having a great week. He may not do things the way that you would do them with the children but that doesn't mean he won't do things with them.
It's a testing time but it is important for children to spend time with both parents.
I hope when you hear from them again they are telling you about the good time they are having. If they have a bad time then they will be even more excited to see you.

"Wish I hadn't posted now pretty certain someone will turn it against me "
We have been there so have experience. Sometimes, however hard it is for others to see, it isn't always both parents fault. You are obviously trying to do right by your children because you believe that two parents are important, which is commendable. However, if he wouldn't sit down at mediation then obviously he doesn't feel the same way. This happened with me and why I had to take the court route, which is very tough for a father to do believe me!
But, and this is important, when you feel you have no option, when the other parent isn't willing to be reasonable, the courts is your best approach.
As some background I was stopped from seeing my daughter for a year by my ex, because my ex assaulted my wife! I would do whatever it takes for my child, a fact my ex greatly underestimated. So the courts put an order in place and it stopped, even though she still tests it.
Don't take any criticism, you have posted because you need to talk. If you want to inbox us you can.
Like we said its not about bad dads or bad mothers, just some people are bad.
Chin up.

Just to add to my last post what was your ex like with the kids when you were together? (retorical question)
I only ask because if he has a history of being unsage with the kids then you have good reason to worry. If he was good with the kids then why all the worry now.
I'm just trying to add another angle to the situation. My ex never had any problems with the way I handled the kids or disciplined them or with the way I handled anything for that matter. But ever since we split up (her fault, not mine) i can't be trusted with a cup of hot liquid!!!
I would never put my children in harms way and always think things through and do the best by the kids as far as reasonably possible. The ex will then speak to the kids, hear part of something and jump to conclussions and accuse me of putting the kids in danger!!
What I am trying to say, in a verbose manner,is that unless he has a history of neglecting the children, put your feet up, stop worrying and enjoy your alone time. As already posted by someone children are resillient. |

People are going to have their opinions, the most important thing is don't take them to heart and don't take them personally...while it's good to vent we are posting on a public forum and people will give their opinion good or bad...I hope you get things sorted in regards to your children  |

Why did you split up in the first place?
He should of picked them up.
He should take them out the house, its not an excuse to draw on the walls though.
Try and keep it out of the courts if you can. |

You do know that people (kids especially) don't always do as they are told right? And that you can't actually watch them every single second? |

Depends on if you think they are safe with him. Not just physically safe, psychologically too. If you are worried get child services involved. Can you talk to them on the phone every night? At least you'll get an idea of if they are ok. |

I know how you Feel....my ex is a complete twat.
he came to take my daughter to where her church camp was leaving for on Monday and proceeded to cause an almighty row, upset the other 3 children and left with the one going to camp without giving me chance to say" goodbye, love you, have a nice week" etc
just remember though....all this going on, they will remember who was a constant source of stability, love and entertainment.....i know i do.....
karma. I waited 4 years for it to kick in and i know its bad of me to gloat. ....but couldn't be more well deserved.

I havent read the whole thread word for word, one, two miss a few, that kind of thing 100.
The only thing that really matters is the kids, sounds harsh but your feelings dont really come in to it. Thats how a court will see it.
Does he pose any danger to them? No
He gets to see them at this n that time etc.
Keep your dignity, dont show him the hurt, and most of all dont bad mouth him to the kids, they will make their own minds up and in time, realise who is there for them, who isn't. You will come out smelling of roses.
Keep strong |

I hope they do end up having a lovely time, however if you really think they arn't happy then i would go fetch them back and if he makes that difficult then then contact social services (or whatever its called nowadays).
Hubbys ex caused lots of trouble for me when we had his child, she still poisons their child with nasty things about me, however as the child got older they obviously realise that their mum is lying, so now things are better !
Good luck x |

"I don't want to be rude or imply that I don't believe what the op has said but people are dissing a guy here on one side of the story only....just saying."
I understand that's cool . I can confirm he is a controlling nasty person to me . But to my children he is their dad and he may be lazy but he does love them . That's why it breaks my heart to let them go when I know they haven't been outside and been naughty but I have to as I want them to have relationship with him |

"No not the place for this if you ask me. I have dramas with my ex all the time over my kids so know there's always 2 sides to every story! I'm not saying you are wrong or he is. I'm just saying parents (both sides) often jump to conclusions and do/say things which all to often happens in front of or affects the kids directly or indirectly in a negative way.
If you are that bothered then instead of getting upset or annoyed about it swallow your contempt and try speaking to him without getting annoyed. Easy to say I know.
Like I said it's easy to listen to one side and make judgement. In my case seeing them for a weekend costs me in excess of £400 so as much as I'd like to see them, I don't get to see them as often as I'd like. The fact it costs me £140 just in petrol is irrelevant to my ex. If I haven't got the money I should teleport, at least that's how it feels sometimes.
After taking a mouth full I ask the question "why don't you bring them to me then for a change?" It's a completely different story.
Stop letting yourself get wound up about it. As long as he's looking after them and they're safe then you can't make him take the kids out. Getting wound up about it will just result in the kids picking up on negativity between you.

I dont disbelieve you for one second. Im glad you didnt reply with 'we split because I/he had an affair' I am sorry though your answer was down the abuse road, nobody should suffer that.
He loves them that is such a big thing, so big some of the smaller stuff like his lazyness dosent matter.
I cant stand my ex, we get on superbly though and our child dosent see us argue anymore, all she see's is us getting on. I have every right to fucking hate the cow, I don't, I just dont love her. |

Why would someone have to have kids to ask that question? Ours were taught not to but to use paper to draw on. |

I don't have any children so I have no experience, I hope it resolves itself favourably for the kids.
My only advice would be, if you were concerned, wound up, aggravated ...... stay off the wine.
Good luck... |

At the beginning of our split we had equal custody. But my ex didn't make great efforts to see our child. He was a crap dad when he did have her. So I didn't encourage him to have her and if he didn't come down to get her or call about it. Then I didn't chase him and she didn't go. In his last year alive, I think he saw her twice. |

You do know that people (kids especially) don't always do as they are told right? And that you can't actually watch them every single second? "
This is true....it could happen whoever was looking after them at the time |

"And my little boy the wall artist is exactly that my walls have murals all over them he does get told but still does it he's only small so when he is big he can bloody redecorate lol"
You say he drew on your ex's walls because the ex didn't take him out....does that mean you don't take them out either as they draw on your walls too?

Awww sorry to hear this, my ex is the same. Never takes them anywhere and if he does its like he expects a medal or something.
Let them down last few weeks and it breaks your heart to see them so sad.
Sending you big hugs and if you need a rant feel free to pm me xx |
