Dads OW threatening my mum

[Piratesrus]

mum and dad still live together but are in the process of separating. Dad’s OW of 2+ years has been sending dad text messages along the lines of she (mum) has met her match in me, I know people who will go and break her legs if I ask them too. I will knock her out if I ever met her, there has been a few more but the latest one is now I’m even more determined to f that basd up- meaning my mum.

I know dad has been feeding this woman lies about my mum saying she hits him etc, OW is obviously believing this. We have gone to the police but they’re not interested because they are indirect threats. Where do we stand, I’m genuinely worried about my mums safety.
Mum doesn’t have anywhere she can stay, no free money for a hotel etc.

She sounds lovely. What’s your relationship like with your dad? Are you able to ask him why he’s telling OW these things and letting her make threats against your mother? Does he not want to move out or in with OW?

Can mum stay with you ? Does she have a good solicitor ?

I am No contact with dad, he was never interested in me growing up, would seek every opportunity to embarrass or humiliate me in front of anyone, it’s no loss in my eyes.
He definitely doesn’t want to leave, he doesn’t like change, wanted his bit on the side without anyone finding out, he told the OW that he was divorced and owned his own home (he’s not and doesn’t)
she doesn’t have enough money for a solicitor, but has had a free consultation and knows what to get in the consent order.
I have offered her to stay here but I have a child which severe disabilities and he can be quite disruptive in the night which I don’t think she would cope with.

How is your mum aware of these messages?
Does your dad share them to threaten her?

Ignore. Presumably your 'dad' has shown your mum these messages or how else would she know about them. Wouldn't it be so convenient for him if your mum up and left her home through fear of these messages.
OW is just talking absolute crap. If she does ever approach your mum, call the police. Hopefully your mum doesn't fall for all this drama and divorces your dad asap.

Rightly or wrongly she knows the pass code for his phone, dad wouldn’t share these massages with her. When he has left his phone unattended she has a Quick Look and photographs them with her phone.

I’d go to the police.

Your dad sounds like a despicable human being 😳

Yes go to the police say your frightened (understandably) for your mum- that should stop the threats

Why on earth is your mum going through your dad's phone. He's obviously an absolute t* but this is very wrong of her.
Ow has made no direct threats to your mum and clearly only intended for your dad to see her messages ( so has let off steam/ talked crap).
They both sound like awful people but your mum needs to keep away her exes phone.

She would still be in the dark about the affair if she hadn’t seen the text messages. He has always been a secretive person and we have no doubt he has done this before.
She has also found out a lot of information about him hiding assets etc. so right or wrongly she needs to see his next move so she can prepare herself. I have an open an honest relationship with my husband if he wanted he could look at my phone and vice versa there’s nothing to hide.

We have they’re not interested. Said nothing they can do because it wasn’t a direct threat.

Christ this women sounds bloody awful OP! Talk about chavtastic! How old is she?

So is she annoyed that your mum is still in the house, or because she thinks your mum is hitting your dad?

Your mum just needs to get the hell away from your dad asap!

So bad the police won’t do anything

Are they divorcing/selling up? I’d be massively encouraging that.

my parents are mid 70’s I believe she is 80, however I don’t know how true that is. There is much more to the story, but I don’t think i should put it all on here, but if it was an Eastenders story line it wouldn’t be believable!

They are divorcing, and selling the house however once it is been divided 50-50 there wont be a lot to buy a new house. This woman has taken everything, and mum had no choice in the matter.
