After domestic violence I left my ex with ds, following this social services were involved and we arranged for ds's dad to see ds supervised by a member of my family at an indoor play area. Social services have now closed the case as I left and am never going back to him, and she said its up to me to decide about access unless he wants to go to court. So he's been seeing ds at the public play centre for the last 5 months. I still think he is unsafe to have ds alone due to his unpredictable behaviour and volatile temper, aibu to continue supervised contact for this long? As ds mother I want to encourage a relationship for ds's sake so he knows his dad, and have never stopped ex seeing ds, but can't foresee it being unsupervised.
Also ds's first birthday is coming up and I don't know what to do. I still don't trust ds's dad enough to have him unsupervised nor are any of his family appropriate people to supervise. I don't feel comfortable around him but have considered inviting him to the party briefly to drop of ds gifts, and so he still sees ds on his birthday. I want to do what's right by ds but can't allow him to have the unsupervised time with him because it's too big of a risk
