Refuse to let my daughter be anywhere near my exs new girlfriend

I left my daughters dad over a year ago for many reasons. He now has a new girlfriend.
I've been told off him and his mum that this new girlfriend is very unstable. She gets angry at him when he speaks to me about our daughter even though she has a child of her own (who lives with her dad). Apparently she has been in prison twice, is a drug user and an ex escort.
I have refused to let her meet or be anywhere near my 7 year daughter. His mum and mine agree.
AIBU?

i wouldn't wan't people around a child, who could be a bad influence, and unpredictable , and unreliable all the time.

@Vi14

The supervised visits my ex has with our daughter have all been agreed between us all and not through the courts. He won't go through the courts as he knows he won't be offered anymore visitation rights than he has already. His whole family and mine know what he's like and we all agree this is best for our daughter. To be honest it is sometimes difficult to get him to show up to the visits he has now.
Then I’d probably stop visitation entirely. I can’t see what a drug dealer and his drug-using girlfriend will bring to your daughter’s life anyway.

No YANBU at all

You don’t stop being a parent when they are with their other parent your child’s welfare is always your concern

What ds gets up to is always my concern and if I feel there are safeguarding issues that would be dealt with

I dont think youll have any problem refusing this. I highly doubt he will fight it. I think keep the contact with the grandmother, as I think that will really help your daughter to know that she hasnt been abandoned and it isnt her fault.

Was he a drug dealer when you got together and decided to have a baby?

Most unhelpful dick head comment of the week 👍

Yup, YABU, you have no right to dictate how your daughter's father spends her time with him or who he sees when his child is around.

Are you having a laugh?
