? I don't understand.
Ioan has a choice. I find it odd that views are polarized on the only option Ioan has was to snatch the kids which is illegal and I have never suggested that. My children are young adults and I never prevented them from seeing their dad. They have now got to the age where they perceive the nuances. The only thing I have suggested regarding Ioan is that knowing how things would be playing out at home he could have been more protective of his future relationship with his children and he hasn't helped himself on that front. The girls are too young to be emotionally informed. All they know is their dad isn't with them and all I am saying is he could have handled it better
Right now. I don't want an argument nor do I have a polarising view - my view is simple and I don't think I've said that you suggested he should snatch the children. You're putting forward your opinion that Ioan is not doing enough for his children. This is based, as is your right, on seeing your children's dad not stepping up and seeing them when he could and prioritising his new relationship over them. I've read all your posts on it. I remember when you initially posted about Christmas and your daughter being so disappointed. Your ex is a
tit.
But.
This is
not what is happening here.
You've never stopped their dad seeing them. Alice is.
There was not a possibility you would do harm to your ex or possibly accuse him of something had he come to your house to see/collect them. It's not above Alice to do that or thereabouts.
It's not about snatching the children from Alice but he must protect himself and therefore his children from witnessing an emotional explosion dare he go anywhere near them.
She is keeping them from them. Alienating them. Therefore he's chosen the legal route, that she must be "forced" into giving him access because that's the only route he can take now.
So when I say that your daughters dad had a choice to see her I mean just that - you weren't stopping him. Your daughter isn't like Ella and actively hates her dad (as far am I'm aware). But he
chose not to see her. As
tit as that it is.
From what we can gather Ioan has tried to see his kids, cultivate a relationship outwith the house and been brick walled and abused at every turn.
None of us are saying the Insta Bianca reveal was ill timed but I don't see how he's putting her ahead of his children as he does want to see them, he's just not allowed! He will not give in to Alice's demands to see them therefore the legal and protected route is what he must go down in order to do that.
In my mind he's protecting them in this way. It must utterly pain him not to see his kids.
He doesn't wake up one day and go, you know what, I'll spend the day with Bianca instead of Ella and Elsie today.
He just doesn't have that choice to go be with them.
Yet.
