Alert, I
am almost convinced you are somehow connected to this situation, you totally get it.
Sammy01, your advice has been noted and honestly appreciated. Having someone play devil's advocate is always helpful.
Alert, you are spot on. And all of your suggestions are being practised.
sammy01, your suggestion of Fokker 50k to settle won't work. The father has offered 850k settlement and it won't work. As I said this is a sizeable property settlement.
I do believe we are doing the right thing, i have been as honest as i can, and i appreciate each and all of your advice. We document everything.
Hey there Philly, I am happy to help with any suggestion I can give.
I am connected, but not, I’m sure you will know what I mean when I say that.
Don’t be shy ever, you can ask me anything, anytime and I will not ever feel offended. I know what you are dealing with and it’s hard at times, once you work her out Philly you won’t realise how easy it is, you can predict the next move, truly you can.
It can definitely help when you feeling unsure of anything, to have another perspective.
I’ll be totally honest with you and give you my opinion, that doesn’t mean what I say is ‘fact’, I want you to know I would never put something to you that I know to be untrue. I know the situation you are in and damn its hard work.
You say, ‘you do believe you are doing the right thing and you are being honest’. That is perfect, you can’t go wrong, believe in yourself, that’s all that matters, the rest will fall into place.
I can’t say how long you will be dealing with this crap, it will all be worth it at the end though, that I believe.
What I experienced was a psychopath. I couldn’t believe some of the unimaginable things that he truly believed, I needed to put myself in his weird friggn warped mind to try and work him out.
Just keep on top of everything she says, she will begin to contradict everything she says and not even realise she is doing it. You may hear 1 version of a ‘story’, but listen carefully because that 1 version becomes 10 different versions, try and pick up on the differences, you may pick up on things which are quite alarming. She will tell the young boy, not to talk about her or anything while he is with her.
That’s why I suggest he could see the School counsellor or someone he could take a book and read too, something he enjoys, he will begin to feel comfortable with this person and say things that his mother has told him not to say to his father.
Just remember the young boy may think what his mum says or does is kind of normal or normal, I do believe he is a smart boy though to say he will see his father in 3 sleeps and also 36hrs, so he either feels she is not normal or he feels unsafe, I would go with he feels unsafe. Don’t feel hurt when I say that, this is definitely not your fault.
No matter what you say or do, you will always be wrong in her eyes. Don’t let her make you second guess yourself, for real. Once you do its hook line and sinker, her weird behaviour has worked on you. I’m speaking from experience, I lived with it for about 12yrs, then dealt with it in court for another 4yrs.
Your partner? Father's son, need to realise they are masters at making you feel like it’s all you and whatever you do is wrong, I love you, you’re so lucky I’m with you, you would have no-one if you didn’t have me, blah blah blah, it goes on and on.
Philly, you and the father are a team. Not many would come into a new relationship and deal with this. You obviously care for one another a lot and Philly I believe you love the young boy. Don’t let her disrupt the relationship you all have. Keep strong and keep alert. You will do this, I can see in your post how passionate you are. I’m sending my strength to you, as they say, two heads are better than one.
You’ve got this Philly❤️
