Hi
Won't bore you with the whole story but basically H (he lives in N Ireland, I don't) came over to see Dcs (5 & 2) this weekend. He comes over maybe every 2/3mths.
He has mental health problems/drink problems.
He was allowed to stay at my mum's and have kids there (supervised at all times) and visit went well (better than the last one when he turned up very drunk) until this morning when all he had to do was get himself to airport.
Basically he got so pissed he was arrested at tube station and my mum was called (at work) and she & my dad spent time in police station/hosp with him.
ATM they are trying to sober him up and get him on plane this eve.
I am going to stop contact for the foreseeable future (how do you explain that to a 5yr old?? 
)
But do I let DCs have contact over the phone or is it easier on them to have no contact at all iyswim.
And to top it all I have just burnt the DCs tea & burnt my finger taking it out of the oven.
Am not having a good day
