I am going through an access case to see my daughter. It will be some time before I see her.

Will we be able to rebuild the bond and keep it going without interference?

Dear Derek, My advice is to put all your cards on the table. Ask for access but follow the rules. I would say to the mother I want to see her, but please be with us when I do. You will be able to rebuild a trust that way and a respect, which I don't feel you have now.

Calm down a bit. I feel you have been losing it. And listen to what's being said to you from friends. They don't have all the answers but they are thinking about you at the moment, which you do need.
