I am a qualified family mediator (divorce and separation) registered with the Family Mediation Council and a qualified general mediator (workplace and community) member of the International Mediation Institute. I believe and am passionate about helping people in conflict to resolve their issues to move forward in their life.
I have been through a very high conflict divorce. I left my first marriage 15 years ago as I was unhappy in the relationship. From the date I left to this present day my wife has refused to speak a single word to me. Because of this the divorce had to be totally through a solicitor and cost me £20,000. My two daughters were 18 yrs and 15 yrs at the time. I have missed all my daughters important dates 18, 21, graduation and even a marriage. They have not visited my house or spent Christmas with me in 15 years. I have meet them regularly at their place of living as long as it is not their mothers house because I am not meant to know where that is.
My question is why should children have to deal with the divorcing/separating parents. It is not their fault. In fact it is nobodies fault. At one stage you thought you could get on together and now you have decided you can't and want to sort things out, so you can move on with your life. It is not rocket science it is just life. It happens and the divorce rate in the UK is believed to be 43%. That is nearly every other marriage ends in divorce. Their are no estimates for people separating who are living together as this is a harder number to estimate as you have not got court records etc.
No friend, divorce coach, mediator or solicitor helped me get through my divorce. I wish I was going through it now from what I know having gone through it and after doing family mediation for a couple of years now.
I am passionate about finding solutions which are the best for the welfare of the children. There is no reason why they can't get through divorce easily. The only thing that stops them normally is the parents, which is not right.
