It's systematic abuse, by the mother.
My children were told "Daddy does not love you no more", "daddy hates you", "daddy has not got you a birthday present",
and even "daddy's dead". On one occasion, they were told that i was picking them up from school, to go for some presents.
It was not true, and the children were crying when their mother eventually picked them up. Then she blamed me, who knew nothing
about it, until a friend of my ex told me.
My son lost over a stone in weight, within a few months of contact being stopped. His mother told people, "oh, he's just
going though a bad stage".
He wanted his dad, and she made him think i did not want him!! That's child abuse!!!!!!!
