Showing her true colours now isn't she?
Still some good news, i.e. that your son will have more contact with them and if he doesn't have to pay maint that'll be good too.
Looks like she was just weaponising the kids all the time.
So sorry they are distressed. Hopefully they will recover and in the end realise what she is really like.
Please wish your son the best of luck with the rest of his life from me.

You can choose your friends, sadly you cannot choose your relations, (as I once told my mother!)Yes indeed it is very bad for the kids. Sorry to hear that you and your brothers are estranged.
I was estranged from my only brother for 10+ years all because my Sister told him I had said something that I had not.
We straightened it all out and we are fine now.
Same Sister of mine declared that Me, My brother and my late brother in law were all alcoholics (this while enjoying my hospitality at a big family gathering of all living members of the clan I could find).
She's been on the naughty-step ever since. I'm polite, but I don't want to know her.
I was estranged from my brother for a long time while his wife was alive. Now she has gone we are getting closer.

... A hole was dug and a 3M galvanised washing pole was concreted into position this morning.
I ache, especially my wrists from the spade thrusting into hard, dry clay.

Too late to tell you this now, but having had to do the same in similarly hard ground, I was advised that I should have soaked the ground with a hose first.... A hole was dug and a 3M galvanised washing pole was concreted into position this morning.

Maybe this will help next time?
but good on you.
Job done!

Was partially done to combat the exceptionally dry summer. But, too wet and you can end up with a hole that just gets bigger and bigger because its all too soft.Too late to tell you this now, but having had to do the same in similarly hard ground, I was advised that I should have soaked the ground with a hose first.

While it was a tough dig and (with just a trenching spade and bare hands to pull the earth out) the result was a very firm very tight hole
and we like those don't we?Postcrete has gone off now so I slipped my big pole into it. It was very satisfying.

Not sure this is on the right thread!!!Was partially done to combat the exceptionally dry summer. But, too wet and you can end up with a hole that just gets bigger and bigger because its all too soft.

Hope you do not have any problems with it staying up!!!
