I thought everything was going well.
I put both kids on the form because they were under 17 but knowing my middle child wouldn''t want to come, and never intending on forcing her. I didn''t want her to feel unloved or unwanted so added her.
Papers served- access granted to youngest.
I came home today to find my wires expensive solicitors letter (I am self-repping, she is going full barrel) It contained a letter from her councillor from a session I attended.
I was nervous as I hadn''t spoken to my daughter about the divorce or the affair- it had been my wife who had been all too happy to fill her and the other kids in. She said she wanted to ask me some questions. They were hard ones, but I chose to tell the truth.
I told her how I never intended to be a father at 23 and how I had never loved her mum, but thought it was the right thing. I told her how I had tried to leave before and that I had an affair I was unhappy. These were all answers to very direct questions, It wasn''t easy to say but my wife at painted this picture of the perfect marriage that was destroyed by the OW. At 13 she is young but I wasn''t going to lie to her.
The letter from the councillor reads as if I was mocking my daughter as I had a nervous grin on my face the whole time and states that I severely upset her. She told my wife about our session and I had thought it was between us.
The letter will be presented and I will have a barrister and a lawyer trying to prove Im not fit to see my own children. I now question why I ever bothered going to that session, or what its real purpose was if not to have open honest conversations. My wife refused
mediation several times and I feel like its all of them against me.
Any advice?
