As I have said many
times before the general public has no idea at all what it means to non
resident parents, grandparents and all extended families when they are
prevented from being part of their children’s/grandchildren’s lives.
To enable the truth to be
told, it means that people need to be prepared to tell their own stories, it is
only when that truth can be spoken that changes must happen.
When I talk about non
resident parents, and grandparents being suicidal and the reality that some
succeed to end their pain and torment for ever, that is reality.
I have been given
permission to write about one family who has been through, the heartbreak of
being denied contact, and continues to live with it.
A Dad and a
grandmother.
When we start on the
long journey of trying to see our children/grandchildren, we have to walk a
tightrope of emotions.
Just when we think it
can’t get any worse, it does.
As this Dad left the
court room, having lost everything so precious to him, he was totally alone and
in utter despair. He had to walk past his ex, her new husband and step-son,
they were all laughing at him.
A little later it was
his birthday, he received a video from his children, they were sitting on the
sofa singing, ‘Happy Birthday Dear Daddy,” smiling and completely innocent,
they were then prompted to shout, “Good-bye, Daddy.”
I would like you to
just stop a minute and read that again.
How do we stop this
cruelty, this evil in our society.
This is NOT a one off,
this is happening every minute of every day to thousands of families.
Please write to your
MP’s about this torture that is robbing children of the love and protection of
both parents, a Family Justice System that is to blame, a government that
refuses to listen to the voices of innocent children. A whole generation of
children who are growing up to believe that the adults in their lives has let
them down.
Don’t be the adult that lets the children down.
