In my husbands previous marriage after having some problems (mainly caused by her having affairs etc) she met some bloke on the internet and when he had gone to work one day took the children and buggered off to live with this man, who lives in Yorkshire and we live in Hertfordshire. It's turned out to be the biggest mistake she made and she wants to come back from where she is living back to her home town. This is not the first time this has happened. The last time all her in-laws, her ex-husband and even me, his present wife) all rallied around to help. Within 24 hours she had taken the children and buggered off back to him without a word to anyone . Well here we go again, except this time because she has alienated all her in-laws she has phoned her ex, who she knows that if she uses the children he will drop everything and help . He has told her that he will bring the children down but she will have to make her own way. Fair enough you might think but that's not the way I see it. Perhaps it's just me and I'm just venting my anger out because if I say anything else I will just explode. It was only 2 months ago that her new husband wanted to have the children surname changed to his and when my husband suggested double-barreld they did not like that and communication between my husband and his children severed, which is what happens whenever they come to visit and have enjoyed themselves. Should we have been punished for this. Someone please say they understand. It was her idea to bugger off to Yorkshire and take the children not ours.
Really angry and hurt.
