Always wise to force your child to see you when they don’t want to and take mom to court to be fined. Builds trust and great relationships
There is no really good way to “win” a situation like this. The grand sacrifice may be the wisest thing for the sake of the children, waiting for any reuniting to happen once they are of age.
The children are often turned against one of their parents by one of the adults.
A man or woman has the right to be a parent to their children.
Sure...why don't you explain the other way out of it?

That was my reaction too. My dad never forced me to visit him, but he’d get really sad when I didn’t want to go with him on a weekend and I usually gave in because of that. My mom was wicked for painting him as a monster and trying to drive an emotional wedge between us. Dad and I are really close now, but the whole situation made my childhood awkward, painful and lonely. I understand well the price the children pay because of the adults’ power games.
When she was ,17 my niece started protesting having to visit her father. The custody agreement said she had to come but no judge could make her like it. She pretty much stayed on her room. When she turned 18 she stopped coming at all. Why? Because my brother in law is nuts and so bitter about the divorce that he couldn’t stop trashing his ex. She’s expressed concern about her 15 year old brother because being stuck in a house while your dad rants is no fun or healthy.
