So yeah... Once again the lunatic is back to causing as much stress for me as she possibly can. Some of you may remember my last thread about her wanting me to move back to her town and how it went from being fairly reasonable sounding yet entirely manipulative to just a FUBAR request that was as nutty as squirrel turds!!!

Well you guessed it the maniacal bint is at it again...


Over the past two weeks I have received torrents of abusive texts, full of threats how if I don't do what she says she is going to stop me seeing my kids yet again and how if I don't move back then she will move in with this "boyfriend" but that where she is moving, I won't be able to afford to get there etc etc etc.


I've not responded, other than to try and ascertain where it is she is planning on moving and who she is moving in with which she flatly refuses to divulge. Which leads me to believe there is no one and she isn't going anywhere and even if there is someone else she is actively trying to avoid doing it for some reason!

This is a woman who constantly claims to despise me, accuses me and my family of wretched and horrible things when she doesn't get her own way... seems to believe a court order is optional and she can do what she wants without consequences etc trying to berate and bully me into making her life easier for her!

What makes it more interesting is a lengthy phone call I had on Friday with the "child in need" team... we discussed concerns over the kids yet when I raised the issue of the threats of the ex partner moving in with someone.. the woman seemed quite taken aback, claiming that they have been speaking with the ex as to if there is anyone else and that she has told them no on multiple occasions. They also seem to share my concerns of the effects a move like this would have on my son's still fragile emotional state and mental health!

So she is either lying to me, or them or both and either way that doesn't bode well for her.

This then followed by a weekend of more abuse, threats and general stupidity including my personal favourites "the problems with psychos Vidar is that they think everyone else is the problem and not them" and "your only sayin no cos your still love me and angry at yourself" :rolleyes:

Erm...... how's about no...

But she is determined to keep threatening withholding contact as per the order, refusing to tell me where it is she plans on moving too and generally not considering the effects on the kids... So I find myself wondering if now is the time to find out my options about taking her back to court...

I mean she got residence based on the fact the kids where settled, and that upheaval would be detrimental to my sons mental health... now she's possibly moving them away to somewhere she claims I won't be able to afford to get to etc so I wonder would a court now consider a change of residence as I would be prepared to move back to their town so they didn't have to leave their schools etc and that wouldn't it be better for their mental states to live with Daddy full time than to move god knows where with some man they apparently haven't even met yet?
 
Id just tell her to contact you in a couple of months when she's moved if she is doing and re assess access. By then you should have a job and cash to go visit and some dust will have settled so it's not a big show in front of the kids right?
 
Well I do have an interview for KFC next week... it aint much but it its a start....

But no I'm not going to just allow her to stop contact as she sees fit, if I do that what was the point in the year of hell I went through just to get access again...

And as I said my kids are damaged by what went on, they're both coming a long in leaps and bounds but are still considered fragile... to tear them out of school where my son is particularly well settled and to move them in with a complete stranger, in an area they don't know and where they won't be seeing "Daddy" is going to have serious consequences for them! And that is something I can't allow!
 
Not sure constant squabbling or fighting will be good either for them however. You both need to find a calm serenity between you to move forward with your kids in mind and not revenge or tit for tat selfish maneuvering. In fact you might have to acquiesce to some of it to allow the stability to occur as unfortunate as it sounds.
 
Whilst the situation is an immediate pain, keep hold of those messages and write down every conversation you have. She's digging herself a very big hole...
 
Get a specific issue order from the family court to ensure she can't move out of area, or just apply for a residence order, if she's as crazy as you say and if your child is deemed a child in need and Social services support a move with you then you're golden

thats what i was going to say..keep everything that shows her as unstable.

i dont know how you can keep texts etc that would be acceptable as evidence however
 
Aren't you the guy who was considering moving in with her to be the stay at home carer for the kids while she gallivants to uni and shags her boyfriend?

I hate to be "that guy" Sack her off and stop looking at ways to get involved. Re Access.. go through social services and setup an access situation try to be there for the kids but don't entertain her at all.

Runningman, I'm not the one initiating any squabbling or fighting and ignore the vast majority of correspondence from my ex partner, only responding when it is something to do with my children. Such as slight deviations in pick up times etc.

However as she makes numerous threats in one regard or another I simply remind her that there is a contact order and that she must comply with it. Nothing more! Now as far as she is concerned I have no interest in what she does or who she does it with. However when that behaviour is liable to be simply catastrophic to my children's already fragile state of minds in particular my sons who already displays emotional issues... Simply acquiescing will not be of benefit to them. It will also not sate her desire for control or quell her misguided notion that the court order and legislation don't apply to her!

I've kept every single text message, email or anything else I've ever received, though I wish there was a way for me to copy and paste my text messages from my phone for a back up but my Google fu has failed me in that regard... I have a Nokia Lumia 800 that doesn't have forwarding or copying capabilities it seems.

I'm going to try and speak to a solicitor first thing tomorrow morning to discuss options, I am hoping that with the abusive text messages that will support an application for legal aid once more though as I'd much rather re employ my previous solicitor and barrister to deal with this situation.

And Hybridx you must have misread my previous thread, that's what she was proposing essentially but I was considering moving to a separate place, as long as the contact order as well as benefits etc reflected who was looking after them for the majority of the time... she wanted me to be under her thumb which is again what she keeps proposing and of which I certainly have no interest in being.
 
Easiest thing is to just walk away from the situation and leave all the talking to the solicitors and the courts.

All you've done from the beginning of the whole sorry situation is allowed yourself to be dragged back into conflict with your ex by continually indulging her in conversation and getting hooked on her emotional black mail.

Do what we advised you to do in the first place, but as much distance between yourself and her as possible, and leave everything else to you legal representative.

On an android phones you can install an app called SMS Backup+ which adds you sms messages in a sub-folder in a Gmail account. Perhaps the windows app store has similar app or maybe you could change to an andriod based phone.

^^This. ;)

Or send the boys round, you from Liverpool I see! ;)
 
I guess it juat depends on what you can do. I mean, what can you do to stop her moving, physically block her? Or can the court order that she doesn't ? How often are you there at the moment and how instrumental are you to their day to day stability? If they are going to be with their mum whatever happens then she might as well ve happy as bad as it sounds because she's going to be a better mum happy, rather than resenting you constantly for not allowing her to move on. That's going to be the painful and selfless dilemma you might find yourself.
 
My ex upped and moved 130 miles away with 2 weeks notice, taking our son with her. 11 years later, I'm still making the return journey every two weeks on average. I doubt you'll be able to prevent her moving without a reason good that's equally good enough for you to challenge custody.
