Is going to be spending the weekend sleeping overnight at Ex’s house with my young not teenage yet son.

am I unreasonable to say no ?
daughter is 18 (if that’s relevant). he’s completely lost all control of her.

There isn't much you can do.

The likelihood of anything awful happening is slim, but never nil.

Wasn't the recent slaying of a family in London down to a new boyfriend introduced to the family, who went on to murder them.

People have been "slayed" by long term boyfriends and husbands too.

If you actually think that your DD is such a bad judge of character that she is seeing someone who will attack your son and that your ex won’t be able to do anything to prevent it then I'm surprised that you aren't more worried about your DD. I also wonder how you will cope when your son is a teenager. You're not going to be able to control his every move and environment then.

I’ll ask my older kids to give me some sort of like Uber rating on my mothering, they seem to have manage to navigate a couple of years of university without sending me to an early grave or off to therapy so far but I wouldn’t want to think of you wondering for a moment longer.
