Just doing a will - children are 12 and 13 and also have husband. In the will it asks us to name a legal guardian if we die pre their 18th birthday.
The issue we have is DHs family are all abroad and the children do not speak their language well enough and would be very detrimental to their education to go there but would otherwise be well looked after. My mother has been physically abusive to both me and my DS leaving him with bruises for 3 weeks. After that I've been no contact though as I didn't get police involved it's my word against hers, he was too young to remember. I do not want to name my parents or my 2 siblings as they will give my mother access.
If I name a friend instead is there anyway I can make it clear I don't want the children to my parents? I did report it once to doctors but so many of my records have been lost I wouldn't bank on anything being recorded. The friend would live locally so children could stay at same school etc.
I've also recently completely blocked access to my mother. I was talking by e-mail but she started hassling me more and more and trying to contact me via others, phone, e-mails to children and so I've cut off completely. Always been too scared to do this before and don't know what she will do now. She doesn't know my current address or phone and I've blocked e-mails.
Thanks for any help.
