To ask this question?

Ds is 2.5, and currently on holiday abroad with his dad, my exp.

They went on Wednesday and are back this sat, so ten days in total.

How often would you want to speak to ds/hear how he is/what he is up to?

Once or twice?

Every day.

As often as the child wants.

If he's happy then every few days so maybe 3-4 times to speak to him. I'd like a daily text about what he's doing. But then how often do you keep your ex- P updated on a day to day basis?

Every day.

Every day

Every day.

Thank you. im drip feeding.

We went away earlier in year and we rang ex every day, just for a cpl of mins. I sent pics and little text updates too.

I have spoken to him twice for five mins since they went but all contact has stopped since ex found out I'd gone out for drinks with a friend.

I'm trying to just take it on chin and know ds will be fine. Just want to say hi for selfish reasons really. It's longest I've been away from him, previously just overnight.

Just wondered what everyone else's yard stick was.

Every day if possible

But realising it's not always possible to get a toddler to come to the phone (let alone have a proper conversation) I'd settle for daily updates from the ex.

Punishing you by withdrawing contact with your 2 YO?

Nasty bastard.

To be fair it's only been today. I've not heard a thing since yesterday lunchtime.

It may not seem a long time, I know ds is safe and happy.

But it's just shit, I'm sure he will have justification though.

He will liken it to "something" I've done I'm sure. (Like saying no to "extra" contact when he hadn't turned up for agreed contact, or once when he was away I had a day off work, didn't mention it and ex hit roof as he had to wait til 4pm to speak to ds when he could have rang him at 9am)

Aaaarrrrrggghhh!

Awww a day is long enough when they're only small, you must miss the little ankle biter milling around just under eye level.

It is weird when you're used to having them about all the time, constantly thinking you've forgotten something

Has anybody claimed compensation from the CICA and been rejected because of the 1979 rule.

Has anybody claimed compensation from the cica and their claim is part before the 1979 rule and part after. If so did your claim still ahead. The 1979 rule is that any abuse that happened at home up to 1979 they do not pay compensation for which is extremely unfair. Does anybody know how to start a petition so those people who suffered abuse at home before 1979, we can try and get the Government to change the rule so those people can still make a claim. If you have suffered any kind of abuse and it was before 1979 you can not claim a penny, yet after 1979 you are entitled to compensation.
