Its tiring trying to talk to him about mediation. No sense comes out of this man.

All par for the course as far as I can tell!
My ex refused to go to mediation then spent the next 6 months dragging his heels and whining " not fair" every time he did I told him " unfortunately mediation was your opportunity to discuss this issue and as you chose not to participate suggest you contact your solicitor £££ to discuss"

As overtheraenbow he refused and now whines and whinges, but with no solicitor. So when he drags his heels my solicitor writes a kick ass letter.
This summer I have forward on all the emails about summer camps which he failed to read so has been late, got lost and not had the code to collect DD. as I point out to camp providers I or ward the emails, but I can not make him read them.

There are some people who can never see reason unless it meets thier own needs. They just don't have normal negotiation skills - I can't bring myself to speak a single word to my exp as 1 million would never explain how I feel and nothing he ever says is true which then does not give me or anyone else the ability to make an informed opinion anyway and then he would change the rules again in any case and we would be back to square one - so no point starting it all. All far too exhausting. But while he tries to continue his manipulation everyone else is happy and getting on with thier lives - he doesn't see how ultimatley he suffers the most.

You cannot make someone communicate if they don't want to. No court will order it either.

If you have an uncommunicative ex work round them. It does make things needlessly harder and a lack of communication is most definitely not in the best interests of the child but there is nothing you can do.
