Right now I can’t communicate with d, I can only communicate if the therapist recommends it. Right now I have to keep my distance.
This is why if at all possible you NEVER want to allow the government to decide things for your life. I know it was your W who got the government involved but this is yet again a huge example to everyone else what can happen when you can’t come to a decision on your own and instead get third parties who know nothing about you or your family involved. I mean step back and think about this - a comparable stranger is deciding you cannot communicate with your own daughter!!! You have not been charged let alone convicted of a crime against her. Yet you cannot have contact with her. The system is broken but it’s all we currently have to protect the minority of children who may need that protection.
It can be hard to work with an ex or soon to be ex but it’s nearly always better doing that than rolling the dice and allowing an unknown government stranger to decide what is best for your children and family. I say this less to you and much more to anyone else reading and thinking it’s a better move to go to court. It rarely if ever is and sadly this is an example if that.
