So my ex and father of my two DD's has decided now that he is dragging me through court (again) for contact.
The last time he dragged me through court was because he bullshitted the law about his psychotic behaviour in the stalking and harassment department. As if having to leave him with the children following years of DV and abuse wasn't already bad enough.
Stalking and harassment ensued when I finally grew a pair and told him that there was no chance in hell I was re-entering any kind of relationship with him after all the shit he had caused, inclusive of but by no means limited to drug and alcohol abuse, emotional abuse, violence, gas lighting, bad mouthing me to the kids when there was a contact arrangement in place, not providing for them and much, much more.
Since July last year when he got acquitted with a 2 year long restraining order, he has attempted initiation of handover contact once. Due to the danger to the children of letting them go unsupervised, I went back to the contact centre and said that he could have supervised contact. He turned it down when he found out that he would also have to pay for it.
Prior to that, his mother played "mediator" for a total of three weekend contact arrangements, following the last of which I got a call from children's welfare because upon being admitted to hospital with a "diabetic coma", he confessed to the medical professional that day that he had been using.
We have been no contact for legal reasons. I have kept the girls away because he is a danger to them and have been advised to do so.
His witch mother has been gradually causing further problems inclusive of calling social workers on me, harassing my family, technically cyber harassing me and without a shadow of a doubt, she is totally behind this.
The court date is soon, and in as much as I am confident that the one walking out with egg on face won't be me, I am in a head space I haven't been in for a long time and am not enjoying it one bit.
Sorry for rant, just need to get things off my chest and am open to advice, suggestions and experience sharing....would make me feel better, methinks.
