They were unhappy with the situation but not unhappy about going, I think those two things are very different. We have resolved that problem now.
I have never been to Tunisia before so really looking forward to it Anna, and yes its an all inclusive holiday village lots for all of us to do.
Hi PQ, the holiday sounds great when are you going? glad you have somewhat resolved contact with your girls over the holidays 
Hi Colie i think we all want whats best for our children and ideally they should by looked after well when with either parent, sadly though this does not always happen and we have to work with the situation so that children can have a relationship with the other parent. Do your children have contact with their dad?
Hi Sally,
We're going in the spring half term for a week and can't wait.
My son doesn't have contact with his dad no
Thats a shame colie. Is that your son's dad's decision?
yes. he kicked us out of the house and sold all mine and my sons belongings as well as all the household things when my son was 10 weeks old. After making life very difficult for us he signed over his parental rights and responsibility as long as I never ask him for money.
Good to have the holiday to look forward to PQ
Hi Colie
Hi pq spring half term is not long, you will have a super time I am sure, lovely to get the sun on your bodies at the very least.
Colie, it sounds as though you went through a horrendous time, your son was so very young. Have you seen him since?
I tried for a long time to keep him in my sons life but he got more and more awful each time we spoke and refused to touch my son or use his name, he called him ''the boy'' and me ''the wife'' the last time we saw him was 18th december 2010 which was for half an hour. After then everything was through military and civilian police and solicitors, it's only been a few months ago that everything got sorted.
Hi Colie what a terrible upheaval for you and glad things have finally settled down. This will be of tremendous benefit to your son, too, as he may well be still dealing with memories of everything that happened, not conscious ones but just a general insecurity that his dad's behaviour caused.
Hello PQ, Tunisia how fab, and a great way to spend your grandad's bit opf money, he would have been thrilled to know he could treat you to a break. I have never been to Tunisia but a friend that has been thought it was great. Something for you all to look forward to during the cold weather 
hi everyone, ive not read all this thread but the first page.
personally if i found my ex wasnt feeding the children during his contact time with them then id stop sending them!!
grrrrrrr.........lots of name calling coming to mind but i shall bite my tongue!
Maybe it's just me but I'd always want the best for my kids and if they came to me and told me they were hungry, weren't aloud to eat and were upset as you have said I wouldn't send them somewhere they were unhappy.
Hi Anna, I think so, surely it would be better for children to see their father regularly, the same days each week, look forward to it and get a decent meal and decent shelter etc rather than being let down, upset and hungry.
