Lucy, I Really do feel for you, especially at this time of year, I missed seeing my kids last Xmas day, that was depressing, beans on toast for Xmas dinner.
When I hear of stories like yours, I thank god for people like F4J, they are really bringing the injustice of the Secret Family Courts into the public eye.
I believe the Judge who heard David Blunketts case did the right thing in holding the case in public view, there should be more of it.
I imagine you have read my little list of judges rulings.
I was lucky with the Judge in my case, he didn’t give much of a stuff for me, or my ex, he wanted the best for my kids, and could see through the lies presented to him on her side.
Be careful of CAFCASS, the vast majority are former probation officers and have less training than a traffic warden.
Do please have the best Xmas you can have.
Have you tried a website called www.nacsa.co.uk, loads of people on there in the same boat as you, some who have succeeded in getting out of the boat, and loads of experience and knowledge to pass on.
It is going to be interesting how they deal with Blunkett. Afterall he had an affair with her, he wasnt married to her, she is married to someone else, there is no proof as yet (dna) that he is the father of either child.
Im thuroughly discusted that he has got away with what he is done, he is blind so what, if he was a conservative minister he would have gone and labour would have been screaming sleaze again. But hey he is a labour politician he has private moments & he is blind.
If they rule in his favour thousands of fathers would have a very justifiable right to appeal, the justice system would near collapse.
Personally I dont think he should have contact, the way he used them, especially as an excuse to resign is quite frankly appauling.

That’s as maybe…but let’s not lose sight of the real issue here. This isn’t about him, after all…and his son has a right to see his father regardless of who or what that father is, assuming there is no genuine (as to opposed to “fabricated in attempt to get his/her own way” - all too common in these cases) threat to his safety.
This whole issue isn’t about Fathers’ rights or Mothers’ rights. It’s about CHILDRENS[/i] rights.
