Am going to check in for replies later as have to go out but here's the situation...
Live in north in same city as my parents and am happy here but just graduating and want to take studying to ma level, so would consider moving, perhaps not too far, in any case...
BUT I have 3 children, 10, 8 and 5, quite settled except for their father, who they have supervised contact with 1h a week due to his health problem and alcoholism. Now their paternal g.parents have completely turned against me and started to involve my kids ... so I had to stop contact unless they agreed to mediation (no joy). These people can't see that they are in wrong and are threatening further court action. They have money and professional status. However the cafcass worker has told me today that it would be understandable if I wanted to leave the country...??!! This is based on interviewing the gps at the court (they accompanied their son) when they behaved in a very difficult manner.
I am seriously thinking of leaving town, going South or even abroad. I NEVER wanted to put my kids through a big move like this, but I can't take anymore legal stress and I am beginning to think that contact with gps and dad is never going to work/ be beneficial to the children. An extreme reaction I know but situation has been insane and I was also gently considering moving anyway.
