My ex has taken our dd who is 2 to a museum for the day. He mentioned yesterday that he was going to introduce her to the woman he is seeing.
He picked her up at 1 this afternoon and it takes roughly an hour to get there on the tube. I asked what time he'd bring her back and he answered 'dunno it closes at 5'. I checked and it closes at 5.50 so tried to guess what time they'd get back. He has form for not being able to give times when having her. So I just asked him to text me when they were on their way back.
I text him at 18:30 to ask if he knew what time they'd be back and he hasn't been online to read it which I get as he could be on the tube. I've called since then and it just says this phone is unavailable.
I'm sat here really worried as I have no idea where she is and when she'll be back. Maybe I'm being pfb please be gentle with me if you think so.
I've just been thinking how long do I leave it? And what do I do when that time comes?
He's on the birth certificate and had never not returned her before but has form for lateness.

I agree, he is playing games, call the police and then take some legal advice on set times for contact

angelicjen · 25/03/2016 21:07

Hope this comes to a happy ending for you soon, it's very cruel and I would be livid in your position.

BrandNewAndImproved · 25/03/2016 21:08

This is such a horrible feeling.

I agree with others about the tube being rimmed ect because of the bank holiday but it's not a lot of help when you're feeling worried.

I really doubt he would of took her back to the new gfs and turned off his phone on purpose. I expect time got away and his battery died or no signal. I wouldn't ring 101 till 10 either.

zoomtothespoon · 25/03/2016 21:08

My ex did this all the time. Call the police.

Thinking of you OP and watching the thread in anticipation of your daughters safe return BrewWineThanks

BrandNewAndImproved · 25/03/2016 21:08

Rammed lol my autocorrect

FlowersAndShit · 25/03/2016 21:10

what a fucking cruel bastard doing this to you. I'd ring the police to teach him a lesson.

FirstWeTakeManhattan · 25/03/2016 21:10

Oh OP, you must feel panic stricken. It will be okay. But I agree, call the police, and listen to the posters with knowledge on dealing with this kind of situation.

madmotherof2 · 25/03/2016 21:11

I've been in your position many times.

Make sure if you don't contact the police that you keep a diary of it all

Evabeaversprotege · 25/03/2016 21:11

I hope he brings your baby back soon.

If not, don't let him have her until some formal agreements are in place.

PinkSnowAndStars · 25/03/2016 21:11

Hope she's back X

FellOutOfBedTwice · 25/03/2016 21:12

She will be fine but he's an irresponsible arse nevertheless. Call 101 and see what they say.

shazzarooney99 · 25/03/2016 21:13

I hope shes returned safe and I hope you have rung the police xx

slebmum1 · 25/03/2016 21:13

I hope she's back op. Holidays or not it's way past bedtime for her. Would he / can he have her overnight?

calamityjam · 25/03/2016 21:13

Have you heard anything yet op?

Thelovecats · 25/03/2016 21:14

Looking for your update telling us she's home safe xx

AtSea1979 · 25/03/2016 21:14

I'm guessing she's back as OP gone quiet

silverdrawers · 25/03/2016 21:15

I hope she's back safe and sound, he's a twat Flowers

minniebear · 25/03/2016 21:15

Thinking of you, I'd be bloody livid. I hope she's back soon. Flowers

horseygeorgie · 25/03/2016 21:16

is she back yet?! I'd be FURIOUS. One phone call to let you know she will be late is not to much to ask, you must be worried sick.

AvonleaAnne · 25/03/2016 21:16

I hope you have your little one home safely now. I would be furious with him for the lack of communication.

Thornrose · 25/03/2016 21:16

You are definitely not being unreasonable. I really feel for you Sad I hope you're tucking her up in bed right now.

HeffalumpHistory · 25/03/2016 21:17

Oh my goodness!
I hope you have rung. That's not on at all. She's 2! He should have had her home hours ago. Poor mite.Sad

I hope she's home with you soon Flowers

Natsku · 25/03/2016 21:17

Hope she's back now, but if she isn't then definitely call the police. Had lots of trouble with my ex not bringing DD back when he was supposed to and being uncontactable and had to ring the police so many times - stop contact and don't let it start again until you have a court order.
