My mum arrives tomorrow for a week.
My mum lost custody of me to my father when I was almost 9.
Mum had legal aid and my father and stepmother paid private.
My father won.
I grew up with my father telling me how worthless I was and degrading women.
His control and abuse was horrific.
I lived in a state of fear and panic.
Not just for me but for my stepmother and eventually my younger brother.
I couldn't wait to leave.
I never really lived back there from the age of 19.
I cut my father off 3 times.
The last time was the final straw for me.
I haven't spoken to my father for 5 years.
He has never met his youngest grandson.
Am I guilty of #ParentalAlienation?
No i'm not.
I am a protective parent who does not want her child to suffer the same abuse and trauma.
My father and his family were seen to be as a positive.
In fact my father not only isolated himself but us from our family as much as he could.
I chose to walk another path.
I made a choice not to be like my father.
My father told me lie after lie about my mother for years. Horrific things to turn me against her. As I was in my teens I began questioning a lot of it due to my father's behaviour. My fathers family loved my mum. My mum did nothing wrong.
People say "you only have one father"
I would rather have had no father.
Not every child is better with both parents in their lives.
My mother had me in her life from the age of 18. She has her 2 grandsons.
She was the parent we chose.
I've got news for the #solicitors #barristers #socialworkers #judges.
We never forget your names and how you all aided an abuser.
Our life has been changed by recommendations and decisions you all made for us which have impacted our lives.

How shocking is it that I choose to stay home & watch #UFC instead of going on #match #date #datenight denying numerous op’s for date nite that I know are devoid of #Chemistry. I can pay for my own meal but it’s tough to sit thru a date feeling uncomfortable because you already know it’s a zero chance, #period
