I second that, we are here as a support to anyone .
Surely courts are there to help however complicated a case is, that is what they get paid for

They are there to uphold abuser's rights. They never help, only punish. The letter I got from the court at the very beginning made it clear that the only way to avoid an adverse outcome was to concede to all demands but I know that he would just ask for more and more.
Feeling upset and angry today. Yesterday my daughter got another offer yesterday but it was a conditional. Please don't get me wrong it is not that it is a conditional but what the condition is. Because of her postcode the condition is that she attend summer school otherwise they think that she wouldn't handle uni. I have looked it up and the summer school is advertised as for students meeting a list of disadvantages who
narrowly missed the entry requirements to help them make up credits. There are two entry requirements the preferred and the slightly lower minimum, my daughter met the preferred grades so does not need extra credits. Since she stayed at school, if they wanted to put in a condition they could have asked for a particular grade in one or more of the subjects that she is doing this year. That seems fairer as would then be based on her personal work and achievements rather than placing an extra barrier in her way (that will have costs attached) based on my failure at life.
To make matters worse the media here is full of articles saying that Edinburgh uni is making offers to poorer students, who don't deserve it at the expense of more deserving students from better backgrounds because they have "gone all woke". That has infuriated me. She earned those grades with her own intelligence and hard work and she did this while being dragged through court. AFAIC she earned and deserves her place at least as much as any student out there. I fully accept that I am a failure, that people view me as sub-human scum, the sign of all that is wrong with this world. But why do my children have to penalised and written off because of it, it shouldn't wipe out their genuine achievements. She studied the same courses and sat the same exams as the children of proper parents so her grades should be judged on the same level.
Her Dad's family want her to accept the conditional offer as they see it as such a good university. I don't want her to as I think the nature of the condition indicates that it would not be a supportive learning environment and may be actively nasty, make her feel like she doesn't belong. That is not conduisive to her best university experience. I'd rather she go where she is wanted, excel and show the b****ds
