Hi just a quick one.. well is starts like this I was in a relationship for 7 years with my now ex things changed when he started cheating he was in a whole new relationship behind my back i only recently found this out about his cheating he’s had a new baby with this woman while we was apparently still in the relationship it’s broke my world apart 💔 I’ve never really got on with any of his family they have caused arguments fights and so on throughout the relationship especially his mother she caused ALOT of the drama... well to get to the point we do share a child together he hasn’t seen in 1 year due to him being in jail not that he bothered anyway! Was just a excuse for him thinking he was being a good dad..his family haven’t asked about the child in the same one year but now I’ve found out about his new girlfriend and new baby they have tryed getting in touch demanding to have excess which I have not replied am I being unreasonable keeping my child away?? Also he was violent towards me when we was together resulting in social services involved and was to not have contact with the child.. it’s just one big mess I don’t no what to do right from wrong?? It’s his family that wants to see the child but I’ve gone really bitter towards them myself due to the fact they all new what was happing with this new girl and baby!! They never asked for my child the whole time until I found out everything. Am I just being selfish or am I doing the right thing ? Thanks in advice x

Didn't you post this earlier?

Personally, I wouldn't bother with his family providing your DC has a supportive extended family (Grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc) through you.
Just my two cents.

Sounds like the family will end up being like what they were before, more trouble than they are worth.

If they cared they’d have offered to help you with babysitting or money or whatever while your ex was in the jail. They did nothing. They don’t care. I wouldn’t be in any rush to have them give me grief.

I did yes but some users thought I meant the new girlfriend wanted contact. I just reworded it... Thanks
