Also Alice's tactics are not new. Any attorney who have been practising for some time recognizes the tactics. You don't need inside info to recognize her game plan tactics.
For an attorney to drop her at that stage of the proceedings takes a lot. Judges also have the discretion to deny an attorney's request to withdraw from the case. The judge granted Leon's request to withdraw.
Alice ain't doing nothing new under the sun. She isn't the smartest person in the room, particularly the court room.

People get touchy on Tattle about this kind of stuff, I realize, although I believed @RTP when she said she had info about the lack of affair, no questions asked. Why? Because this kind of stuff travels. If you need to know, I’ve heard things about this specific case from other attorneys who happen to be friends of mine in real life. No ethics code were broken. It was a conversation among friends.
Totally understand if it breaks a code etc if you reveal too much (if anything) but when you say things are much uglier than we can see, is that from Ioans side or Alice's?

In that, firstly, *is* there something Ioan is doing that is provoking Alice's meltdowns etc? Not that I for one minute think there is just cause for the wild nature of her reactions but whose side is making things ugly (or uglier)?

And do you think any of this will ever come out into the open? As in, will it come out in court papers etc and people will see what Ioan has had to deal with (or, indeed, Alice) that could sway the tide of opinion/stop the flying monkeys etc?

I have seen people slagging off Ioan just last night. And it’s absolutely fair to expect backlash when people say things like “He’s not doing enough.” How do you know? We’re all just stating our opinions, right? The very suggestion that he should be doing more legally, hasn’t done enough, doesn’t care the kids are with Alice, just isn’t true. I realize it’s easy to quarterback this from the sidelines, but there’s a lot going on behind the scenes. That’s my point. You’re welcome to believe what you like. I don’t tone police.
He's chosen the least worst path of those open to him. His options are limited and there's no perfect way to extract himself from the marriage. People who want him to swoop in and rescue his girls have been watching too many movies. That would be kidnapping. And would ensure he doesn't get custody.

There's no scenario, at no point in a relationship with Alice, that he or their girls get out unscathed. And that's on Alice, not him.

Alice is choosing to be a victim.

I don’t necessarily accept all the diagnoses of MH.

Look at her history and alcohol is the issue.

Allegedly Ioan, who seems a kind man, was unsympathetic to her illness. When I’m ill my nearest and dearest are not unsympathetic.
However if I lie in bed with a hangover after a night of boozing they will call it for what it is!

Genuinely think her drinking was restricted during IVF, then little ones at home and then became a serious problem.

He worked away and her drinking increased. He did try to help and encourage her not to drink.

What’s fun and cute pre-kids is very different to grown up responsibility.

Because I am 100% for the welfare of the children. If they stay with her they will have mental health problems for the rest of their lives. I think a stable home life far outweighs a comfortable lifestyle. If he can provide both, then great, but their safety should come first.
So who is going to pay the bills?

It's such a complex thing to tease apart. Did MH contribute to substance abuse or did the SA lead to MH? It becomes a chicken or egg issue and bottom line is, it all needs treatment. Most treatment programs are designed to support both but there are some highly specialized MISA (mentally ill substance abuse) programs that really emphasize the MH.

I’ll have a go. Stages of Alice:

1. Dramatically claim someone has done something to her or claim something shocking about someone on social media.
2. Play victim. Fake ignorance or responsibility. Enjoy having ego pandered to by unquestioning people/enablers.
3. Get angry and defensive when questioned by people who read, think or know claim is a lie. Try to discredit.
4. When unable to defend lie, bad behaviour or detract refuse to comply with agreed procedures to resolve issues. Bury head in sand. Detract social media followers with something unrelated but showing a caring side.

Repeat to fade.

She claims Ioan's family look down on her as she is not Welsh enough 🤷‍♀️
Well, they seem to love Bianca despite not being Welsh at all!

Though her Scottish surname Wallace does originally mean Welshman/foreigner.

If only it were that simple.

The PA is real. I believe that mAlice has turned the eldest into a mini me so unless the reunification therapy (which probably won't happen due to AE sabotaging it) is a remarkable success I just don't see it happen. It is the one nasty victory AE has achieved in all this mess.
I know it’s not that simple :(
But Elsie is so young and I believe at least she will love having her dad back!
And I think she will adore Bianca.

Well I happen to know that members of Ioan’s close family have very many good Gog friends. I’m a 100% certain they all do. It’s hardly the 200 mile tops distance from both areas they object to. That’s ridiculous. It’s the Dic-Sion-Dafyddism of the Evanses. They’d be viewed the same by most Welsh-speaking families. It’s not anti-Englishness. It’s the contempt for people who were once Welsh, but who sold out on their own culture, turned their backs on it, and who look down on those who were previously their own people and attack them, believing themselves above. The self-denying Welsh. We call them Dic Sion Dafydd.

ETA to add the last 4 sentences
We have similar in Scotland. People who put down their own nation.

He can adapt like millions of adults have to do. Why am I having to defend putting the children's welfare first? It's accepted Ioan had to flee, but not the kids?

Thanks for that well thought through explanation 🙄 Ioan fled long before she went completely cuckoo, otherwise I'm sure he'd have taken them too. (End of discussion on this from me because the reasons he hasn't been back for them can already be found many times in past threads.)

Of course
The most vicious forum I've ever been on was a FB page for a local park.
BBQs were the biggest row until the 'you shouldn't feed bread to the ducks' people joined up.
Someone actually got a letter from the RSPCA and posted screenshot saying you shouldn't so someone actually went to a Swan rescue centre a recorded a message from a rescue person saying you could. People were threatening to assault other people and 'I know where you live' type comments. It went on for ages before all talk of bread and ducks was banned.
It was hilarious.
Of course you shouldn’t feed ducks and swans bread. It’s totally cruel. No different from Foie Gras stuffing.

Tattle doesn’t make these decisions. The courts do. They have far more information than we do and will be employing child specialists to see what the girls can handle. OF COURSE we would all love for Ioan to have 100 percent custody until Alice gets help. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work that way. Ioan just taking the kids and running is called kidnapping in California. He’s asking for reunification - what more do you want? That’s pretty extreme and shows the PA has gotten so much worse than any of us have imagined. You’re certainly not the only one on here fighting for the kids. Everyone on here has the kids’ best interests at heart. We’ve been discussing this for months. But there are legal guidelines that have to be followed, particularly in such an ugly, contentious divorce. I wish it were that simple, but it’s not. We have due process here, so not everyone just gets to lie and tell a random story and get custody. I would say that’s why Ioan’s team has worked so damn hard on the TRO and PRO. That should make you feel a little better?
