I recently left my husband of 15 years due to his controlling behaviour. We've got three children. I bought my own house and initially we agreed to 50/50 shared residency ( kids swap over a couple of times in the week). He struggles with this due to work commitments and I tend to have them more. I don't feel this is the best thing for the children as think they'd be better with a more stable base, seeing their dad for tea in the week and staying over at weekends. The difficulty is that I find it hard to stand up to him as for years have made it my goal not to upset him. We've talked about alternative arrangements but he won't back down.
Has anyone found mediation helpful?
He has a new girlfriend and part of me wonders whether things will change as that relationship develops, and whether I should just wait and see.
