DD14 has only seen her dad once since Xmas. Many reasons for this, mostly dad's fault and it's a long story. I always make sure she is ready for contact on a weekend just in case he turns up. Sometimes he doesn't even txt to say he's not coming. When he doesn't arrive she usually isn't bothered and goes out with her mates instead. I've seen several msgs where she's made plans with her friends even before she knew he wouldn't be picking her up so I think she's stopped even expecting him to come for her. I do not speak to him (DV issues) and I don't want to stop contact. If he ruins his relationship with her by generally being an arse and not turning up to see her I want it to be his fault/choice. Obviously if she was visibly upset or distressed I would do something about it.
Anyway. The latest excuse was that his mate borrowed his car and crashed it and he's having trouble getting it fixed. No other vehicle he can use to collect her. Obviously this guy isn't very bright because he has photos on his and his gf's facebook pages of them and her kids on days out in the same car that's supposed to be undriviable - selfies inside the car, one of gf getting pram out of boot, toddler with icecream on her face with car in background, then general beach and park ones etc. Taken on there different days as they're wearing different outfits.
I know I have no evidence that these photos were taken on the same day theyou were uploaded but if they were then he's lying about the car. Do I tell DD?
