My husband and I are separated, long story but he has now been sectioned under the mental health act, he has been in a psychiatric unit for over 2 months involuntary. He wants to see our children ages between 2 and 7. I am happy for contact but I do not know what is wrong with him, what medication he is on etc..... He will not allow the Drs' to speak to me and under the data protection etc they are not allowed to without his consent. I have also said that it should be in a contact centre one to one with notes taken. He has attempted suicide twice and I just don't know what to do, no one seems to want to help me. What are your views??? Am I being unreasonable for now allowing contact until I get some medical disclosure? Has anyone else any experience of this.... I am at a loss as what to do. :(

I hope it goes well for you.

I wouldn't let him have any access unless a risk assessment was done and it was supervised by someone qualified.

Well went to court I went alone and was representing myself. He showed up with 7 friends and 2 nurses as he is still sectioned. He no longer has capacity and the judge agreed to contact with the children in the psyactric hospital with the nurses supervising the visit. He was agressive to me and intimidated me with all his "friends" waiting out side..... feel completly deflated, will go to bed and get some sleep as I haven't slept properly for weeks. x When he left I just cried infront of the judge and he just said to me you have to get on with your life. But how can I. Let me know what you think. Thanks for all your support so far. Tomorrow is a new day and hopefully I will feel a bit better x
