Re: step children
Asked by lucyryan

Question:
hiya my partner has two children aged 9 and 7yrs he and his wife split up when the children were 3 and 5, the ex has always been awkward  when it came to my partner seeing

his children but once we got together she was terrible she has convinced the 9yr old he doesnt want to see his dad the 7yr old is saying she will see her dad when she is ready and only with her "new daddy" being there we have taken it to court and caffcass have said the children are under alot of peer pressure but still my partner doesnt get to see his children even though it has been adviced that he can, all presents cards etc sent to the children have been returned or not given we set up an email address for the children but got a lot of abuse from the ex new partner we really dont know what todo anymore as we love the children dearly the ex wont tell the children they have anew half sister, its all so sad any advice on how we can make sure that the children get our cards etc. as even solicitors letters are getting ignored.

My Advice:

Hi i have a step daughter that we see on a regular basis9were quite lucky with the x). But when i was a child i moved in with my dad and my mum was known in our house as the woman from hell. The fact of the matter is that my mum was

nt a nutter but my dad and step mother brainwashed me into thinking that. We didnt get cards or prezzies etc off her. But when i got older i wanted to meet my mum(who i now have a great relationship with) and found out that she had gone through hell to try and see me and get stuff to me. She kept a bank account for me that she put money into  and kept two of everything she got me so that the day she did get me back i knew that she had cared all those years i thought she hadnt. I hope you keep trying through the courts, but in the short time your not seeing them maybe this would be a good idea. Good luck hope things work out. x ginni x
