I understand all that although my ex to this day still tells me he loves me and always will. I'm no longer in love with him, the only love I have for his is because he gave me 3 wonderful boys. I have contacted Social Services on this matter and they claim that they don't feel that my boys are being mentally abused my their fathers girlfriend. They won't even talk to my boys. I have asked my boys to call them and tell them everything but I think they are afraid that dad with beat them, he has beaten my oldest and the middle one in the past and there is reports on this but no one seems to care that my boys are very unhappy living with him. The courts tell me that I can't do anything for 2 years so my boys have to live in fear and be unhappy for 2 years.
