No, that is when communication has broken down. It's horrible and only solution is usually for all communication to go through third parties like lawyers.
I didn't want to see or hear from my ex and thankfully we had no shared children. I think it would have caused me mental illness to have to stay in touch with him for any children.
Respectfully, as a mother you should put your child’s feelings and mental health above all else. Alice has damaged these children.
These children should never have been exposed to any of the (documented)
tit AE has put them through or said to them. You protect your child at all costs, you should not be showing them “articles” that have been printed or saying “the babies can support me or
duck off”, “you’re a tedious
witch”, telling them the “nanny” will look after them for the week because the child dares to tell her to “be a mother”, agrees to let the child try and “fix” daddy,
duck these are just a few of the things I can recall of the top of my head! My point is, irrespective of whether he did cheat or not, these children should never have been exposed to any of this. I fear she has done irreparable damage and cannot understand how you can defend her in any capacity.
