The question to decide
The child wants to keep meeting the former spouse of the parent who cared for them for years, but the parent worries that conflict will repeat. Regular meetings could blur roles, and leaving it to the child's requests puts the burden of asking on the child. How should future meetings be agreed, given even the option of pausing contact for a while?
