I don't want to quit, not really, but I am so tired. Two and a half years of court hearings and today we've had another that puts the mother's needs first and puts the children in the middle of all the conflict.
If my DH pulls out of the court process, his ex will stop him from seeing his children completely. If he stays in it, the children are at risk of being manipulated further. We have three CAFCASS reports that show that mother's manipulation is damaging the children, tens of false allegations against DH none of which she has evidence for, she has even used me and my children as a reason to ask for contact to stop.
I'm done in. I want a holiday. I want to keep the money we spend on barristers and go on holiday. Fighting for these children is doing nothing but creating more and more conflict but doing nothing would mean losing them and letting them down.
I know there's no magic wand. I've read everything, we've tried everything. How do you cope when it all gets so hopeless?
