Hi my name is Meg and I never imagined I’d be in this position, having to ask for help just to be a mum to all of my boys.

I’m a proud mother of five beautiful sons. They are my whole life. But right now, my heart is breaking because my ex-husband is trying to take away my rights and responsibilities as their Mother.

I’ve done everything I can to stay strong, calm, and fair. I’ve tried initiating mediation THREE times but he sabotaged 1 and ignored the other 2. Then he finally initiated mediation himself, only to use it as a way to assert dominance over myself and the entire situation.

I’ve reached out with love, and tried to rebuild that bond with my oldest that live with him. But nothing has worked and their Father isn’t cooperating in any way.

Instead, he continues to use the legal system as a way to control and hurt me.

It feels like no matter how reasonable or kind I try to be, it’s never enough.

I’ve spent the past 11 months trying to protect my children and resolve this matter in a more peaceful manner and without having to go to family court. But now I’ve reached a point where I can’t do this alone anymore.

I’m raising funds so I can get proper legal help to fight for my rights as a mother and to keep our family together.

I just want to be able to see ALL my boys, to be part of their lives, and to give them the love and stability they deserve.

No child should be used as a weapon, and no mother should be kept from her children out of spite or control.

Every little bit of help means the world to me, whether it’s a donation, sharing this page, or simply sending a kind message of support. It all gives me strength to keep going.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, for caring, and for standing with me as I fight for my family.

I hope my boys know that their Mum never gave up on them.

With love and gratitude,

Meg
