In hope

Have u managed to progress from a contact centre to having more contact and how if so is it dealt with? Are you now on talking terms with the mother?

It's been almost two years since the contact centre,
Since then I have gained orders for extra contact, extra holiday time and lately I have gained a shared residence order.
I now have my daughter staying with me every wednesday till thursday morning, every second weekend from Friday till Monday morning, and half of all school holidays,
She loves it and life couldn't be better for us.

My ex and I have not spoken to eachother for over four years.
I would love to be amicable with her for my daughters sake and have tried many many times but she is so full of hate, especially as she has lost every single court case to date.
My daughter would like nothing better than for her mum and dad to be friends and I'd love to make that happen but alas her mother only cares about herself.

Because she has now been seen to be a spiteful liar and abuser she has lost the support of some of her family and most of her close friends and despises me for that.

Well at least you have your daughter and yes it would be nice not just to be friends but at least on posotive talking terms with the mother but like u say she is full of hate and if she is stubborn enough to continue like that then there isnt much u can do that yo havnt already tried to. I will have faith in the next few months and hope that at least on the day of court i will leave with some kind of contact order all beit supervised to begin with. But the only thing is if I'm going for full custody in the long term due to my ex having a illness that is never going to go away and will disrupt my childs upbringing for his own good like whats happened to her other son previous to me getting involved how do I point tis out clearly to the counsel that I do not want the same thing to happen to my child and despite my history I am the better parent to raise my child in a safe, secure and appropriate manner for him to be educated properly and not end up as a 12 year old boy with the knowledge of a 6year old due to neglect
