Hi all,
Has anyone faced this issue before? I'm currently co-parenting with my ex-partner with 2 kids aged 6 and 8. Their mother has a degree in Naturopathy so she is educated in the health space to some extent.
My daughter is often sick and her mother won't allow me to give her any medicine, I have to get her consent first but so far she's never approved it. She prefers I just give her Honey in a bowl. When my daughter is sick it can go on for 2-3 weeks until she is good again I think due to not taking actual medicine?
I feel like I can't challenge her as she is educated in this space but she is borderline homeopathy I think? She is also anti-vaccine but I've made sure they're up to date via medicare.
Also;
My daughter has a large cavity in one of her teeth, you can physically see the hole. She won't let me take her to the dentist without first getting her consent. She thinks its just a defect in her tooth and it's fine but my daughter complained it hurt and it was bleeding. She does not enforce brushing of their teeth, my son just had a tooth removed as it collapsed due to severe cavities. ($1500, teeth removals at age 7 what the heck?)
If I go against her word she revokes my access to them so I'm a little stuck here and unsure of how to address this, anything I say to her is just an uneducated opinion in her world.
Any help appreciated.
I'm currently drafting an Affidavit but in the meantime whilst I save the ludicrous sums it takes to get this stuff rolling I'm after some help.
