This is a long one please bear with me 😫my daughter and her partner split when my grandchild was 5 months old . The minute that baby was born he changed , he didn't help my daughter , he was verbally abusive towards her and my grandchild . Calling my grandchild a special c...t , telling her to shut the f..k up at 3 weeks old whilst my daughter tended to her . My daughter contacted women's aid to see what advice they could give . Her ex was harassing her etc she informed the police , he threatened he could take the baby whenever he wanted so she stopped all contact , it was making her so poorly , her life had been turned upside down she was now a single mum , she saw her gp who said she had PND , no haha she had an abusive partner who gave no support whatsoever . Her ex took her to court , he got an hour a week supervised , then back to court he now has her 4 hours twice a week supported . Cafcass have basically said my daughters PND is to blame for how my grandchild was , she had delayed emotional development etc due to what she was subject to by her father ! The language he used towards my grandchild has been passed off as a joke !!! They are in court again end of this week and I'm so scared that he is going to get 50/50 which he has gone for , how the hell can this be right ? My daughter left that relationship to protect her child and could end up having to hand her over to her father for 3 nights a week , any advice pls anybody . I feel ill with it all , I worry for my grandchild who's only 18 months old she's very subdued when she comes back from spending time with him , she co sleeps with my daughter too and has done since she was 6 months old . I also worry about my daughter too she's been through enough . Any advice greatly appreciated
