Like WoW!!! Been through all of that and a lot more besides, including a plot and attempt I discovered in the nick of time to have me killed. Unbelievably I said nothing for the sake of the children. Over the ensuing years they were fed a regular diet of me being the bad guy and mother being a pain, when in fact she was a total and utter bitch and I and the children were her victims. But still they sided with her and happily lapped up her lies. This ultimately led them to insult and demean me in from of their friends. At that point I gave them a roasting and told them what their mother had got up to. They haven’t spoken to me since, and probs never will since that was almost fifteen years ago. That’s fine by me. Happy as a sandbox. Be good.
