GP safeguarding referral

Ex and I have a 5yo DS.

DC is struggling with health issues at the moment. Ex will only message me through an app at handovers so we’ve have little discussion about these issues. We also have different opinions about DC health issues, the information ex has given me is inconsistent with what he’s said before, what I see; what others see and with what DC tells me.

Without my input, ex took DC to the GP saying X was wrong with him. When he told me, I called the GP.

I then booked my own appointment to discuss with GP issues we were having in terms of communication. I asked if there was anyone to help me navigate this as I am also scared of ex’s behaviour towards me (nothing physical).

GP said she may have to refer us to safeguarding due to our communication issues and come up with plan to improve. She said she cannot keep seeing DC with one parent and then call the other to discuss the same issue.

I am worried I’ve made things worse - AIBU?

I have no idea if he was denying it by not responding, he didn’t give any input.

He then went to the GP and said it was going on, X is the issue and the GP acted on that. I do not see what he said at home, and told the GP this.

Having read things, I think it’s good we’ve been referred although it does sound scary.

the gp said they might just say we have to attend appointments together, but I don’t think ex will do that.

It’s ridiculous that he can’t even discuss your child’s medical episodes with you.

But the good thing is that everything is recorded and you can access his medical records.

No treatment will be given unnecessarily.

I think having social services involvement is a good thing.
He is not acting in the best interests of his child and perhaps after SS contact him it might make him see sense.

I really hope so, I just couldn’t carry on with it without some support somewhere.

His allegations about me are wild (not involving DS)
