Children not communicating

Oh @utopia, I didn't feel very strong or very polite. I felt panic rising, I was scared and frightened and it certainly didn't seem polite the way I kept saying no. Having said that I was going to say that I doubt if any of the family saw what was going on outside because the bulk of it was on the street and there is a high hedge in between the house and the street. However, on second thoughts as I walked towards the door someone from the extended family came rushing out to greet me. I had forgotten about that, but I do remember feeling rescued. So perhaps you are right and the scene outside was witnessed.

More important than that is though that it seems that things are moving with my son and that seems to be the case. In two weeks I'm on the way home. A lot can happen in one day; how much more can happen in two weeks?

I'm afraid not, @utopia. It's all stalled again. My daughter is not responding to emails or phone calls. My son is responding to messenger (I don't have his phone number), but I cannot see him or the grandchildren and I am running out of time. Seven days left, not much time to bond with the kidlets

Thank you for your concern @Former-Member, @utopia. First of all, yes I am coping. The lessons and strategies learnt during therapy are working .

My daughter is not responding in any way shape or form. I just don't know what to do when there is nil response.

Of course, I have no idea what X has been saying to my children. If what he wrote to my solicitors is any indication, it was neither pretty nor true.

My son does have rather lomg phone conversations with me on the way to and from work; however, he does insist I can only see the children in his presence. Therefore, not this week,; he doesn't have time this week. As much as I try I cannot understand this. My son has known when I was coming since March. On the other hand I do not want to speculate upon reasons. When speculating we usually end up being wrong.

My hope is now concentrated on the weekend.
