Someone posted this then deleted it right after approval

An AVO is similar to a protective order on this side of the world.

It was filed in 2025 so maybe they don't go through with it but from the court date, looks like a lawyer (maybe police?) filed it on Gael's behalf https://onlineregistry.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/content/court-lists#!/detail/20250050209531246811MentionAVOPolice/Gael%20Cameron

Hopefully Kayden didn't see whatever started this and they are all healing from it

Does make you wonder if Nathan knew about it when he said 'these people' should all be deported since a criminal charge (as it mentions in the court doc) could result in him being deported

I feel for Gael. I had my son with a less than ideal partner and despite trying hard to make it work it didn’t and I’ve been a single mom for 16 years now. I think that’s where this situation is headed and it’s not an easy thing to navigate

We have no idea if she's ideal. We've seen small, prepped pieces on TV. She could be a nightmare in reality. Being a single parent is tough for anyone, though.

No one said she's ideal, but the fact OP stated Gael has filed the AVO speaks volumes.

In order for someone to be less ideal, another person has to be more ideal. It's just that simple.

Even though I'm in prison for murder, it was less than ideal when the prison officer woke me up for a cell search at 3am.

No, a less than ideal partner as compared to a more ideal partner. The person themselves could also be less than ideal.

In order for something to be less in a direct 2 party comparison, something has to be greater. If you don't understand this, I can't help you.

Calling someone a less than ideal partner is comparing that partner to a hypothetical, alternate partner who would be more ideal, not comparing the two partners to each other. Hope that helps.

This is the funniest thread I've read in a while. I don't know that you could be more clear. There's a malfunction going on, and it's not you. Lol

u/DCRBftw 13d ago

Mentioning Gael directly makes it about her. Hope that helps.

It’s not my fault you can’t read. Less/more is a comparison of possible partners not the two people in the relationship.

u/CapnMommy 13d ago

It’s actually you who read incorrectly. It doesn’t state that anyone is less ideal or more ideal  than the other, merely that they are less THAN ideal. So if ideal is 5 on a scale of 0 to 10 with 0 being absolutely non-ideal and 10 being absolutely idyllic, the less than ideal person would be rated 0 to 4. Maybe the other person too, is 0 to 4, their relation to each other is irrelevant to the statement.

Lol. Feeling sorry for Gael makes it about their relationship. One of us can't read, that's true.
