My son and his partner separated a short time ago. As she refuses to speak to him, all communication about contact with their children has gone through me. She has withdrawn then agreed to contact several times, insisting that I supervise, before pulling the plug again and making out that the children have been adversely affected despite the fact that I was there the whole time and they were fine with him.

I’ve been walking on eggshells with her for weeks, agreeing to her unreasonable demands and being very polite in the face of unnecessary rudeness on her part. I’m absolutely exhausted with it all. I’m heartbroken for my son but also disappointed that he rushed into having children with someone he barely knew.

No point to this really except somewhere to dump my feelings and lament about the unfairness on all of us.

Why does she want supervised contact?

Why does she want supervised contact?

She said she doesn’t trust him to keep them safe. She’s switched between wanting me to supervise and having professional supervision but is now saying no to all contact. We’ve just gone along with it while he seeks legal advice knowing it will take months to sort out via court.

Mmm and she’s doing that for no reason you believe?

I know her reasons but I don’t think they’re good ones or based in reality.

Why doesn't she think the children are safe with him?

She’s said the children are clingy after seeing dad but hasn’t actually said what her concerns are. A lot of her stated reasons are about her being uncomfortable and nothing to do with the children. I find her very difficult to communicate with as she doesn’t answer direct questions and will throw in stuff that hasn’t been raised. She also changes her mind constantly.
