My DC father and I have been separated for over a year.
There’s a long history of controlling and selfish behaviour which has made life very difficult for me. A whole other thread worth of backstory.
He has now moved out of town and has drastically reduced his contact time with our DC. He is due to pick them up tomorrow eve but will not give me his new address.
AIBU to say no to contact when I don’t know where they would be? I can’t help but think worst case scenario he doesn’t return them and I have to call the police but don’t even have an address for him.
I could do with a break, he’s had them for a total of 48 hours in the last 4 weeks because he’s been ‘busy’. But I just don’t feel comfortable sending them without knowing where they’ll be.
I suspect his reason for not giving the address is so I can’t give it to CMS (he’s not paying the minimum amount so I want to open a case with them) but can’t help but wonder if his motives could be more sinister.
Would you send your DC for contact in this circumstance? I know the rough area but not even sure on the town.
