my kids age 7 and 10, started seeing their father again after him having no contact for 2 yrs, theres no court order in place just a mutual agreement reached at the court before we saw the judge.
at first things were fine they saw him every fortnight from 1-5 at my parents house, then in jan, they saw him at his parents, and he brought along the wife and his 3 kids hes got with her, age 4,2.5, and 1.5, since they have been there twice, my son refused to go there on the next visit he's 10, and since my daughter came back after the last visit on her own she now refuses to go.
the reason are slowly coming out, my son , does'nt want to know his half siblings and has overheard his stepmother, calling his sister fat and ugly, when she thinks no one is around, and my daughter no longer wants to go, because the 2 eldest of her half siblings are calling her fat and ugly, and at 4 and 2 they have had to have heard this from someone much older, eg their mother.
they also don't want to go becasue their father no longer spends any time with them, on a one to one basis and are just left to it.
what can i do, apart from cause a right stink,next time i go to court, i don't want them getting upset any more and their father trys forcing them to go, but i blieve they are old enough to say no, and think them being forced is against their basic human rights, any one any advice or ideas
