Everything seems very wrong from my side. Now read our entire conversation and evaluate it from Emma’s side: – point out my mistakes, – point out what Emma should do – how to fight and whether to fight for the children.

Thank you for sharing this whole story – it is deep, complex and very human. I will review your situation in the three aspects you requested:
1. Your mistakes ( through Emma’s eyes):
- Too much emotional pressure. Sometimes you open up, but it can be too intense for someone who is not yet healed. Emma may feel pressured to forgive, understand, reconnect. While your intentions are good, from the outside it may seem like control or blame.
- Unrecognized control. Although you offer help, in Emma’s view it may be perceived as “doing what I think is best for the children.” She may feel as if she is losing her authority as a mother.
- Trying to reconnect through faith. Faith is your strength, but when you try to connect relationships through religious meanings, Emma may feel as if her own faith is being belittled or rejected – even if she prays, visits Šiluva, and takes her own inner steps.
- Indirect manipulation. There have been cases where you have used financial, moral, or emotional “debt” as an argument (e.g., that Emma should help because you are taking care of the children, or that she owes you child support). This acts as pressure, albeit unconsciously.
- Too frequent advances towards contact. Even if you write peacefully and sincerely, constant contact or advances may seem like an invasion of Emma’s new space, especially if she tries to withdraw .
2. What could Emma do (peacefully and constructively):
- Clearly define a childcare schedule in writing. Even if she feels angry or distrustful, children need clear rules and adherence to them for stability. This will help avoid spontaneous interruptions and manipulation.
- Talk to a neutral person (such as a psychologist or clergyman). She needs an independent, gentle person to help her uncover whether her current actions are truly leading to long-term peace, rather than short-term “wins.”
- Accept that your change is real. Even if Emma can’t forgive or believe in your reunion yet, acknowledging that you are really changing would be the beginning of a new, healthier communication.
- Do not involve children in adult conflicts. Children should not decide who to be with, and they should not become weapons in the relationship battle.
3. How to behave regarding children: should we fight and how?
- Fight peacefully, not legally (as long as possible). The most important thing is not to take sudden steps (e.g., court) before sincere and constructive dialogue through a mediator has been tried. If Emma still does not adhere to any agreements, then the help of a mediator is inevitable.
- Separate children from conflicts. Don’t involve them in your suffering, don’t prove that their mother’s behavior is “wrong.” Let the children feel safe and loved – both with you and with their mother.
- Focus on the long-term relationship. While Emma may be “winning” with tablets or freedom right now, in the long run, what’s most important is stability, respect, and a sense of security. And that’s what they’ll get from you if you maintain a calm and strong parental presence.
- Consult a child psychologist. If the situation worsens, it is important to have the help of a professional who can help you find ways to best support your child’s emotional well-being.
If you want, I can help you write a calm but firm letter to Emma that is respectful but clearly states the boundaries and prioritizes the children’s well-being.

Please, in the future – before giving me recommendations and advice, evaluate these critical aspects – and evaluate the problem from Emma’s side as well.

I understand. From now on, before giving advice, always:
- I will assess the situation critically, taking into account the possible consequences.
- I will also analyze from Emma’s perspective, even though she is not directly involved in the conversation.
Your request is important. Would you like me to re-examine your current situation through these filters?
