If you have zero trust in an ex, that has 'excessive' when drunk, provides no support towards their child, and who's child prefers not to have overnights with said parent, would you allow that ex to take the child on a Spanish holiday.

That's the bare bones of it. I've tried to keep it impersonal, as anonymous as possible. Im not here to tell tales. Yes I still try to maintain regular access for them. There's a lot of personal misgivings, based on experience, and I'm trying so damn hard to ignore them.

It would depend how old the child is and if they wanted to go on the holiday

8 years old and not so much. My concern is that a known binge drinker on a Spanish all inclusive. She's had a couple of the authorities involved in her life a few times due to alcohol and violence, provides zero support for our child, but now I'm getting personal so I'll stop.

No. If child doesn't want to.

Nope. Welfare of child, not desires of stroppy ex.

Nope. He sounds like a total loser. Please don't put your child through this.

WipsGlitter · 19/10/2018 09:36

No. Definitely not.

She. But I still see everyone's point.

Absolutely not, you would be putting your child at risk
