Just after I gave birth to my prem baby (now 6 months) my partner started using drugs quite heavy. I kicked him out straight away then after a week he promised to get help etc so I let him back in and I seen a change in him. However a few weeks after that he went on a bender and came home under the influence and attacked me. I had to ring the police as he kept coming back to my house trying to get in and he got arrested and currently awaiting court date. I currently have an injunction against him and when that's over I hope to get a restraining order in place ASAP to stop him coming to mine and my child's address. He isn't allowed to contact me however has got in contact with my parents demanding to see my child and threatening to take me to court if I refused. Obviously I do not want him to see my child ever and social services have also advised me not to allow it or else a case will be opened against me for putting my child in danger. He's still using drugs to this day and is now back with his ex girlfriend who he has his first child too....i was just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation and has stopped their child's dad seeing there kids (with good reason) and has he tried to get access to your children? If so how did access work?
Thank you in advance!

If SS have told you to withhold contact you have nothing to worry about. Let him take you to court- it's likely an empty threat

It's just a worry, as when the incident occurred I really seen a different side to him and would make me feel extremely uncomfortable having to let my baby be in his care knowing what he's capable of and knowing he's now a drug user. I hear of courts allowing access to dads even when there's been domestic violence involved so it's just a scary thought!
