Dad filed in the courts a rule to show cause as why he was not able to see his daughters. The Ex texted to invite Dad to be in her parking lot at 4:45PM. Dad arrived at 4:51PM. Ex came out with the two daughters. Dad greeted the girls with lot of enthusiasm and asked them what is wrong. The elder daughter said she did not want to talk. The younger daughter was silent. Dad pressed on and urged them to talk. Finally the elder daughter said she was upset because Dad had called her a liar. Dad was shocked. The elder daughter continued to look towards the Ex for approval. The Ex stood their smiling smirkingly. Dad invited them to sit it the car and talk things through. They refused. Dad offered to go inside the apartment and talk things through and they refused. Dad told the elder daughter she was mistaken. Dad never called her a liar and we need to revisit the conversation of June 19, 2022.
The elder daughter was uncomfortable in the parking lot. Presence of Ex continued to hinder them to open up to Dad. Dad was helpless.
The Ex offered to have a conversation at a neutral place. Dad offered not to have Ex during the conversation. Ex refused.
Finally the elder daughter walked away and went inside. Dad had got some M&Ms. He gave those to the younger daughter. He requested a hug from the younger daughter. She refused and walked away with the M&Ms.
Dad walked away with sadness and heartbreak. Why the divorce in this country is so inhuman and why the consequences of divorce so devastating?
Why the children need to suffer during the divorce process?
This is insanity and it must end.
