I had DS with my ex partner.
In the past year he was emotionally abusive/manipulative on exchanges with our DS, he then turned threatening and aggressive and consequently was stopped seeing DS and given a harassment notice.
He then broke that harassment notice twice - a statement made both times.
He was then arrested for charges against my partner and charged with harassment.
He then breached his bail by following us and trying to speak to my DS.
And now again this afternoon, he's followed us and tried to get to him and when I've walked away, he's started shouting horrible stuff at me loudly in a public place.
Apart from these inappropriate attempts to get to him, he's made no other effort. He was offered supervised contact and he declined.
Every statement I've made and the times he was in court has resulted in a slap on the wrist and being told he needs to go through a lawyer if he wants contact and after every time there's been an incident where he's approached us or turned up at our house or followed us.
My DS is 3. I'm really concerned about the emotional problems he'll have if his 'dad' keeps following us and shouting stuff when he hasn't made any effort to see him otherwise. I'm finding this really hard thinking about the emotional struggles for my little boy if this keeps happening.
It makes me so angry that he could have such a negative effect on his life even though he's not even made an effort to be in his life anyway.
