My ex tried to strangle me when baby was 6m, she was in the room. He was arrested, I got a non-molestation, he went for contact 6 months later but stopped coming to court when asked to do DV and drug tasks.
That was 5 years ago. Daughter is 6. I'm married and we are all happy.
I had to cut his sister off because she sent abusive messages saying she will get her brother's child back for him, and Cafcass had ended up saying they do not endorse contact at the present time.
Some family are saying I should message her back, now that she's messaged again asking to see her niece. Thing is she was such a mess, a drunk, husband abusive, and was horrible to me I deemed her not fit to be around my daughter, especially if she was trying to help her brother.
If he puts in a contact request again will they even take him seriously? He was a habitual criminal and the judge was not impressed he stopped turning up last time.
I'm not really worried as my mind escalates to them taking my child. She's my world. I was on the pill when I got pregnant with my ex, he was no person to have a child with.
