'rolls eyes'

Ex's contact with the children is court ordered due to his violence towards them. He is now allowed unsupervised contact during the day. he has fought the system the whole way, blaming everyone but himself for his situation.

Things had been starting to settle reasonably well and the children have been happy enough during contact. A few weeks ago however he started to agitate again, claiming that he was being excluded from the childrens lives etc because they had been doing quite a few bits and pieces of sport etc outside his contact times.

Spoke to my solicitor and SS and agreed that until the next court hearing, I could suggest that he takes Dd to a midweek sporting activity. Which he did last week. All good and he told DD that he's really enjoyed it and he'd take her again this week.

Except he's just told her that it's too far for him to drive midweek (he moved 90 miles away) and to 'tell' mummy that he wouldn't be doing it.

Arse of a man.

Try and get it in writing from him that is is too far for him to drive. I think sending any message to you via DC is unfair on them. I don't think the court will be very pleased. Sounds like you have and are continuing to be put through very difficult times.

He is a knob and clearly expected you to put up a fight with regards to contact and sports stuff but you did not. Must have pissed him off that you did not want to battle it out and have him try and make out you were the bad guy stopping contact.
