This is a very hard situation. Try not to let the children know how you feel about the situation, even though you may be angry. The children also need to know that it is not their fault. Maybe the other person can keep in contact with the children through calls, text messages or emails. If you think it is in the best interests of the children, you could apply to the court to change the contact order to decrease the other person’s contact. Last Reviewed: March 2021
