We don't know what her mental health was/is like, but if there were any way to delay this should definitely should have. She had a 3-bed house in a good area. She probably could have claimed benefits to help with the rent if needed. She could have negotiated with her ex to let her take the kids for summer break in the US to tide her over until they were of age.I wouldn’t wish a long court battle on anyone, nor want to put kids through it. I also sympathise with someone living in a country they’re not totally happy in. But all this seems to be another manifestation of Bethie’s impulsive behaviour and her continued lack of understanding that the world won’t just bend to meet you. She could have waited another few years, her kids would be well into their teens (even waited till they were done with school) and moved back. She just didn’t want to, but the result is a lot of upset and sadness for her own children.
Hmmm unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be working out too well if she can’t hold down a regular job. I wouldn’t describe nannying as a regular stable job.I imagine she has got legal advice on what would be the best way of securing custody. Maybe her lawyers told her she had a better chance of getting the children if she can demonstrate she has a life, home, support system etc in the US established already? Hence her rushing back there?
If she just left it another few years until the oldest was 15 or 16 the kids would have more say and influence in where they live.It’s what every 13 year old dreams of, isn’t it? Their mother pissing off thousands of miles away for self fulfilment. Poor kids.
We kinda guessed all this! It figuresSo the summary of the situation from the content you get to when you subscribe is…
1. She has COVID
2. She is locked in an expensive and aggressive international custody battle, which will end up being managed through a UK court. The court hearing is taking place soon. Her lawyers representing her are in the UK.
3. The kids are going out to US over half term and for Christmas too. She came over to London to see them recently but it cost her thousands so she can’t make trips like that very often.
4. She no longer has a job…she was let go from the Marketing job she had and is now nannying.
5. She’s living on an island near Seattle in her friend’s guest house. Apparently she is looking to buy somewhere and is making good progress on this. Not exactly sure how when she doesn’t have a regular income.
6. Lots of chat about toxic relationships, toxic ex blah blah blah.
Daughter was born in the US: https://gasandair.wordpress.com/tag/waters-breaking.Were the kids born in the UK? And am I right that they have remained in the UK primarily since she moved? As previous post said, perhaps her MH was in crisis, but this still seems to be have been a highly impulsive and ill thought out move.
Oh god, it was all one big circle wank wasn’t it?MoD’s blog there of course.
