I have just found out from a trusted friend - and also my CM that a mutual friend of ours found DS wandering around in the street in just a t shirt (literally) nothing else while he was suppost to be with XH. Said friend took DS back to my house and XH told her 'he's fine he's waiting for his mum! .

apparently XH was watching him from the window (according to him) and DS was running off when XH was calling him back. I want to know what the hell DS was doing outside with nothing on aside a t shirt, and why DS was screaming when she brought him back to our (my) house. why didn't XH go outside pick him up and bring him in the house?

XH says it's cos he'd wet himself which is why he was out there like that.

So am I over reacting in having a go at XH - if it wasn't for friend I would be none the wiser.

it takes 30 seconds to snatch a child and XH doesn't seem to grasp this concept.

(FWIW XH has a history of being abusive towards me, v disrespectful in my house - ie not cleaning up at all for 3 days, last time I came home to find a huge puddlle of pee in the loo on the floor not cleaned up and used nappies (wet) in my bedroom open and not even folded up never mind put away)

i'm not for one minute suggesting I stop contact with XH/DS but soemthing has to change surely?

a friend is suggesting I contact SS.

yeah you & me both Djarm. I keep having a dream (nightmare) that he goes out to afgan as he's suppose to end of next year and doesn't come home and my first thoughts are relief and thinking finally we're free, free at last. feel awful as well cos i'd never wish that to happen to him or anyone else.

going to talk to mum about it all tonight. on top of everyhting else have just found out my great aunty's body is riddled with cancer, they're scanning her tonight apparently to see if it's in her brain as well - if so she'll be sent home.

cargirl - no unfortunatly (or not!) XH's family live 250 miles away. while I get on OK ish with XPIL they're both alkis/abusive as well who basically will defend XH to the hilt (as i'm sure we all would for our kids)

Cargirl - XH's family all live up north, and they are south! They visit regularly but not enough for the weekly visits DS is getting at the moment.

thesouthsbelle · 04/11/2009 18:09

bout as regually as I want lol. - ds goes up twice a year and they've been down once in the last 2 years! (more than enough! lol)

Well if they're useless then just stop contact and let him take you to court to gain it. It really does sound in your son's interest to not be looked after by him.

Is their a contact centre near by?

DanJARMouse · 04/11/2009 18:12

LOL

Sorry about your aunty babe, not good news but you know where I am xxx

Chin up, and FWIW I WOULD NOT BE ALLOWING TWAT FACE TO VISIT THIS WEEKEND.... TELL HIM YOU ARE BUSY AND GOING AWAY OR SOMETHING!

thesouthsbelle · 04/11/2009 18:13

honestly I have no idea. I need to look into that option.

head is spinning and I don't know the way forward. I always said he can do what the hell he wants to me (and believe me he's tried pretty much every which way) but not to my son.

Im trying to find out where your local visitation centres are.... so bear with me x

thesouthsbelle · 04/11/2009 18:29

bless u i'll have a look in a bit when he's in bed. x

I cant seem to find any info babe, looks like it needs to go through court - well let him take you to court.

You have very real concerns over the safety of your son, and you feel it will not be in Js best interests to be looked after (hahahaha) unsupervised.

Keep a record of everything, it will be useful and help your case. Good luck x

thesouthsbelle · 04/11/2009 19:45

I will do FA don't worry.

djarm - u know I'll go to court if I have to to protect DS - and then the shit really will hit the fan (as you know to date i've played nicely with all of this separation/divorce/xinlaws stuff) but it's all being saved up for when I have to stop being nice.

can see that time coming soon as well.

I can't get past the thought that what if friend wasn't there to take DS home? what if someone had of snatched him? what if what if. I know i'll go mad thinking it but I can't believe XH is so blaise about it all.
