DEAR DEIDRE: MY son and daughter have apparently decided to write me out of their lives. I have never been given a reason why.
I was divorced from my ex-wife, their mother, ten years ago. There was nothing nasty, like violence, involved. I found a new partner but my ex would never allow the children to meet her.

I always remembered their birthdays and Christmas but my ex never allowed me to hand over presents and I never received a thank you.
I would drive over to see them but my ex would say on the doorstep they didn’t want to see me but not why. They are now in their late teens and old enough to know their own minds.
I am 51 and very much miss having my children in my life. I would still like to be reconciled as this is all very hurtful but my ex says she can’t force them to see me.

DEIDRE SAYS: Your children may well have picked up on the anger your ex feels towards you, so they reject you for fear of upsetting her (it’s called parental alienation).
Keep sending gifts and messages so they know you are there for them. They may well come back to you when they are out of their teens, leave home or have children of their own.
Families Need Fathers help parents maintain contact with their children after separations and can advise you too (fnf.org.uk, 0300 0300 363).
