A friend of mine who was actively involved in his kids' lives, school runs, sandwich making, you name it, was ostracised from having access to his kids when he separated from his wife. Despite having court access, the court also said if the children did not want to go with him, they didn't have to. This choice was given to a 7 and 9 year old respectively.
And Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Despite trying family counselling, the damage of obvious slandering of said father by the wife and her family worked, and he has not seen his children in eight years. He continues to write to them every Friday, sends gifts on all the special days, but no reply is ever received.
Parental Alienation is relatively unrecognised here legally, but it happens. And good fathers get a bad deal.
Why can't adults just let go, and have the best interests of the children at heart?
