If ex can’t come, then (your child) can’t come, either

Posted on 13. Dec, 2008 by admin in Brainwashing, Divorce, Exposing the methods

There will be situations when your ex will demand that he/she be allowed to appear at an event, or else the child won’t be allowed to come.

Last week my nephew was prevented from accepting a trophy at an awards banquet simply because his Dad wasn’t allowed to attend (Dad is involved in a highly toxic divorce with my sister).

Dad said that if he’s not allowed to attend, then his son won’t be there, either.
And that’s what happened: I, as the uncle, was there to see the trophy, while my nephew sat at home because Dad was punishing his ex.

Yet never mind the punishment meted out on his own son– preventing him from the thrill of accepting a trophy won in a horse riding competition.

This is just another form of using children as a pawn, and it happens too often in separations and divorces. Instead of doing what’s best for the children in all instances, bitter ex’s lash out, and damage their kids in the process.

    Why wasn’t your nephew’s Daddy allowed to attend HIS son’s award banquet? Why couldn’t your sister take the high road and allow BOTH parents to be present instead of the boy’s uncle?

    Amy,

    Because Daddy had been speaking very mean and ugly things about Mom, so he was denied a chance to be around the rest of the family tree in that instance.
