My ex had me arrested for trying to see my kids

DEAR DEIDRE: MY ex had me arrested for trying to see my kids.

I’m 40, she’s 37, and we were together for 11 years.

I can’t eat or sleep – I’m worried I’ll never be in their lives again

No issue is too small, too large or too embarrassing. Read our personal replies here.

After we split up last year, she stopped me from seeing my three wonderful children, aged five, seven and nine.

Worse, she’s turned them against me, so they no longer want to see or talk to me.

When I bumped into them in the local shopping centre, they blanked me.

I went over to my eldest daughter, but she said: “Daddy, go away.” It broke my heart.

My ex says I can only see them if I give her huge sums of money. I already pay maintenance.

I missed them so much that I parked outside their school, hoping to see them and have a chat.

Every problem gets a personal reply, usually within 24 hours weekdays.

You can also send a private message on the DearDeidreOfficial Facebook page.

My ex then had me arrested for harassment.

I can’t eat or sleep. I’m worried I’ll never be in their lives again.

You have every right to see your children, but you need to tread carefully and go through official channels to secure contact with them.
