Hi I am after advice/support please. Im struggling with above. Im finding it so damaging, so unfair and unnecessary, how are you all doing it please? I cry every time, I am emotional wreck with a fear my child (as younger hardly goes there) will turn his back on me when truth is opposite to what he is being fed with. Please help me. Today was one of those days and I burst into tears in front of my son (I feel terrible about it). X

So sorry to hear about what you are going through.

If your ex is saying negative things to your children about you to put you down, that's parental alienation and a form of child abuse. There is a section about it on the CAFCASS website and Google will give more info. It should probably report it to protect your children.

You should document the dates and what your child has said.

Maybe once the children are sleeping or at school, contact a support line like rights of women or national domestic abuse helpline who can either advise further or signpost you.

I'm sure you're a great Mum and your little ones know that x
