    Hi Folks,

    Just wondered if anyone had any further advice in relation to the above post.

    Thanks!

    Kids just don't have nightmares about you coming to take them away - they're obviously being fed/brainwashed with this information, no doubt by your ex, which is VERY unfair.

    If you can't have physical contact, then write to the children, every week, sending them recorded delivery, telling them you miss them, letting them know what you've been up to, letting them know you look forward to seeing them again etc... (do not mention your ex in the letters).

    That way at least they'll know you did your best to contact them. A friend of mine found out a few years ago that her mum brainwashed her against her dad when she grew up, and she now no longer speaks to her mum.

    Anyone treating a child as a pawn will get their comeuppance one day.
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Hiya,

    In the same way that parents might tell kids that that Jack Frost will get them if they don't come in out of the cold, is there a chance your ex may be saying things like...'if you're not good, daddy is going to come and take you away'

    OP get some legal advise and follow it please. It does sound like your ex is poisoning your kids against you and if allowed to continue could have consequences for years to come. I really wouldnt worry about an ABH charge for an incident that happened 3 yrs ago.

    Goodluck and i hope you get to see your children soon :-) x

    I don't think either of those incidents could be reported as ABH now.


    These can be reported as a crime now - any crime can be reported and the Police would have a duty to investigate it. It wouldn't take much investigating if the op is admitting the offence either so my advice would be if you do get arrested have your story straight and make sure you speak to your solicitor before you say anything on record.
