Iâm going through an ugly divorce and my soon to be ex is filling our girlsâ heads with a bunch of lies about me. She took them from my home and went to her parentsâ home. I came home from work and they were gone!
Rosie, we had a pretty decent relationship, but we were no longer in love with each other. Iâm still single and I just want to work and see my girls. But my ex is talking so much mess about me that I have to try to break down the walls for the girls to trust me. They say that their mother said that I donât love them anymore, that I am going to remarry and have another family and forget about them. I am going to fight for sole custody, because I think I would do a better job.
What should I do?

Hello Worried Dad,
Divorce can be so ugly! It seems yours is definitely shaping up to be a War of the Roses. What a shame; meanwhile the girls are suffering.
I understand, based on your side of the story, that you think you would be best for the children, but kids need BOTH parents. You guys need a mediator, so you can hash out your issues and deal with what happens to your children. They should NOT become a casualty of this divorce.
You may have to be the bigger person and bring these issues to the table, so you can have your
children feel safe and loved, not torn apart and anxious! Please, I beg of you to look past this
pettiness and do the right thing for your girls.
I wish you all the best,
Rosie
