I’ve had good advice on here before so thought I’d come back for more.
I split up with my ex four years ago. We have two children. He has remarried but it was not an amicable break up and he still revels in trying to make my life difficult. Unfortunately he’s still at the stage where if I ask him to do something, he will do the opposite. So I can’t even broach the subject with him or he will do it even more.
While looking after our seven year old DD last week he left her unattended at his workplace. He is a flying instructor at a small but busy airfield. She was alone in his office. This office opens directly on to a grassed area which leads to a taxi way and then the runway. The only barrier between the office and taxi way and runway is an old wooden fence with a 2m gap in the middle. So basically there is no barrier and she could walk straight out. It is about ten metres from the office door to the taxi way.
She says that every ten minutes he would touch down on the runway and she would run out so he could see her, do a thumbs up and then take off again.
I should probably also mention that there is no security to the airfield. It is open access to the general public.
She is a sensible child and knows not to wander on to the runway but I am not happy at all. There may have been some other airfield users around but none supervising her. She actually managed to cut herself during this time in the kitchen area but didn’t tell her dad as it had stopped bleeding by the time he landed.
So AIBU in wanting this to stop? As I said, I can’t ask him not to so what could I do? He would deny everything to SS or police and it would be his word against a seven year old.
