Normally DDs father and I are civil. We have minimum contact and only speak when it involves discussing DD.

Every so often however, he becomes unbearable. Its happening again and I really gave had enough this time.

He has rewritten our entire relationship in his head. He was violent and abusive but now all he seems to recall is that I spent all my time in bed. Apoarently I was the abuser.

The reason he talks about my time in bed is due to the fact he didnt do a single night feed when DD was little. He would even accuse me of lying about.having been up with her because he was a heavy sleeper. So when he got up around 8am, I would give DD to him and go back to bed until around 10am. Is that wrong?

Anyway, with this pregnancy I have been very sore and as I have placenta previa I have been taking things easy. So I havent been getting up at the crack of dawn with DD every day. I get her breakfast and we watch some tv in the mornings. Then I get up and get on.

DD has noticed this ofcourse and has told him "mummy is tired a lot" which he hears as "mummy is a lazy bitch and isnt looking after me". Now he is threatening to go to social services.

I have nothing to hide, but I have had their involvement before and really could do without the stress. Im just really fed up with him threatening me like this.

WWYD? Should I call them myself? Explain the situation and ask them to speak to him?

His partner is overbearing and seems to think she comes before me in DDs life, so I know she will back him up.

Op, sorry you are having this. It sounds though the ss are having to follow up this "mystery" call. You know you're doing the right thing with your dd. You will know when you and your dd reach the point when you are not prepared to put up with the bs any more. Keep strong.
