Just read the new article with the further details. All of this is such a tragic mess. Alice has succeeded in poisoning her daughter against her own father. I can't see how Ioan can resolve this in any positive manner at the moment, Ella is clearly so convinced he is in the wrong and being almost 14 now you can't force her to change her feelings. He should just drop the custody case, at least just focus on Elsie anyway. I know Ella is a child and I don't want to victim blame given she is a victim of abuse by Alice but I am shocked at the vitriol she has for her father.
