the nightmare of a parent

Hello to all who read this and hope parents can maybe get a little insight into how a caring parent actually feels

Read this if you have children

Close your eyes and picture your child in a hospital bed He/She has 6 doctors stood over her all debating and telling you she/he desperatly needs water.

Then imagine you have a lovely cool glass of iced water in your hand to help your child it is so fresh and cold and your child is looking at you with pleading eyes.

Now picture your soon to be x stood in front of you not letting your child have this water as it is not your contact time.

Then to anybody thinking of hurting their partner with the children maybe they dont love you but many still love their children.

i do not support any abuse or violence in any shape or form so if you have hurt your child in any way please refrain from posting

Very true!

I think in the complex world we live in sometimes people find it very easy to justify their actions. Taking things back to the basics like you have done with the scenario puts things into perspective.

However I do think that we should be encouraging people who have perhaps made mistakes about things in their breakup to try and learn from those mistakes and also to stop others making mistakes. I know I have been bitter about their mothers behaviour and when my ex first left I made some inappropriate remarks around them that I shouldn't have done. These remarks may have upset them or even hurt them, but we as individuals must learn and move on and help others to do so.

I think your point should be addressed at anyone who consistently uses children as a weapon in the divorce process.

thats the process i am trying to instill

it gets better great post

Hi Focus,

In the initial stages of separation many parents resort to conduct that is not in the childs best interests. The majority recognise this before irrepairable damge is inflicted upon the child. Unfortunately..oooo how I hate that word, there is a minority of those that even after many years are too selfish to put their childs best interests before their own blinkered selfishness.

I pray your xtb will not be in the latter group
