Hi everyone, I am looking for some advice/ support. I left an abusive relationship last year and ended up in a refuge. Since leaving the refuge, I have taken my DD to see her Dad regularly. Doing the travelling every month, making video calls weekly and calls. But still this hasn't been enough and in between visits he has sent me abusive messages, voice notes and emails. Id had enough of this and decided to go down the legal route and put things in place and make it all official, so that we both know where we stand. My solicitor sent him a formal letter explaining I had applied for a child arrangements order and that he was not to contact me directly and to use the court as the correct forum for child arrangements. This was yesterday. Today, she has recieved an email from my ex asking her never to contact him again and to fuck off! This is to the solicitor. That he not be engaging in court and that it is because of me, he will now not see our DD. I honestly thought going down the legal route would help things, but it seems my DD will no longer see her Dad. I feel so so sad for my DD. All I wanted was for the abuse towards me to stop. The solicitor believes he has pulled away because he knows his behavour will all come to light in court. Tell me, have I messed it up for DD? Thank you
