Those of you that know my partners story will know we've been dealing with PA and a very difficult mother.
We've come to a point of not knowing which way to turn. We're both so tired and our physical and mental health is being badly effected. Sleepless nights and a lack of appetite takes its toll.
We're at a point where cafcass, other experts and the courts believe the children should be able to decide on contact with dad. Bearing in mind this happens when the kids turn 11.
There's no welfare concerns. Just dad 'doesn't listen to the children'.
Their mother has no boundaries and is best friends with the children. My step daughter is showing real signs of being isolated from friends as she would rather cling to her mother. And now the ex is showing signs of manipulating my step sons friendships with friends she deems unsuitable.
But none of the so called professionals see an issue with the hyperalignment with one parent and rejection of the other.
The solution is just scrap the CAO and let kids decide.
I'm not sure we can do this anymore
