I hate to say it, but I agree that this is now terrifying. There seems to be a real potential for violence. I hope I & B fully understand this and are taking every precaution they can.
And where was this account in her documents about Bianca? Two totally different stories until she gets to the apartment. Where in Ioan’s petition she adds in the detail that Elsie left with her and that they ran to lose him. I wouldn’t let two kids that age run around LA by themselves either, so good on Ioan for jumping into his car to follow them, for their own safety.So conveniently Alice forgot to pack the leotard so they tried to get taken home. When that didn't work and he took them shopping for a new one, Elise has a "panic attack" and phones Alice
Don’t just lurk, you’re insightful and very welcome. It’s a shitshow just now isn’t it? I’m not flouncing but I cannot imagine Ioan living under the threat of being called an abuser like this. It’s abhorrent and criminal.(Butting in again for a moment) She did this to us on IMDB, used sock versions of our usernames to rail at us. She really never changes. (Back to lurking)
She doesn't even want to spend one day a week with him. He has a live-in partner who is ill and who has zero relationship with this girl. Believe me, he doesn't want Ella full-time. It would blow up. That would be an untenable situation for all parties. He wants a normal co-parenting relationship, but that isn't going to happen with Alice as his ex-wife. Ella is getting close to the age when she will refuse to see him and it won't be forced anymore.The true story will come out and Alice will be found out. I truly hope she gets consequences this time. This is yet another criminal act instigated by her and carried out by Ella. They’re two sides of the same coin. I can see that kid in real need of an intervention. She’s been weaponised by her mother to get revenge on her father. Is this all because he said he’d take her phone privileges away? Imagine what would happen if he gets custody. How will he manage to live under her wrath? That’s no way for anyone to live.
When I was a child I didn't want to spend time with my dentist or some of the teachers at my school, does that mean I should have had my way?Nobody but especially a child should have to spend time with people they don't want to.
A child should never have to meet someone their parent is dating if they don't want to.
The child's preferences should come first.
I don't know what has gone on in this case obviously but to people saying Ella is being unreasonable in not wanting to meet Bianca I think that is her absolute right to decide.
No. You do not give young children power over decisions like this. It is really unhealthy to give them such responsibility - they are not mature enough to be equipped for it and it is frightening and damaging for them. What you do as a responsible and caring parent is talk it through with them, maybe engage with therapy if needed, help them accept change. Time will make no difference to this situation while they are being emotionally abused by their mother. It is utter nonsense in a non-abusive relationship for children to have the power to decide who they spend time with and who they don't, when that person is a PARENT.Maybe just maybe Ioan shouldn’t have moved in with Bianca if there wasn’t a way he could meet his daughters on his own. The children obviously aren’t happy with Bianca being around then, regardless of how they came to this belief.
For you 6-12 months is a respectable time but it’s just an arbitrary timeframe you’ve come up with. It’s painfully obvious that the daughters have been damaged by their parent’s separation, especially the eldest.
I will upload the docs once I get a chance to cut the pics and redact the private information. We have a family member going through a real emergency so this has been a distraction. I'll try to get to it in the next 48 hours to upload the whole docs so they can go to the wiki.Sorry, the file is too large to upload and I ran into issues when using my Google Drive yesterday. I don’t know why these files end up being so much larger than ones with a lot more pages.
