I need some help but unsure the best place on mumsnet to post. I have a 5 month old. Me and his dad aren’t together. His dad was abusive when I was pregnant as he did not want me to continue with the pregnancy. His parents did not meet my son until he was 12 days old as they decided they’d like a dna test to confirm. They are z list celebs at best so attributed it to this. Fast forward. I have gone out of my way to make sure my son has a relationship with his family. I drive him to his grand parents house when ever they ask to have him. Baby bag is packed with milk, nappies, wipes etc. They have never bought anything for him. I have also allowed my son’s dad to take him whenever he chooses until recently when there have been safety concerns. He wasn’t attaching the car seat to the isofix because ‘ he forgot’ and most recently brought my baby back smelling of weed so I have refused to let him take him. I spoke to his parents and they agreed to having my son at their house when his dad wants to see him so he is supervised with him. His mum is VERY rude to me she’s asked me in a room full of people how my babies dna test went amongst lots of other things and most recently when I went to collect my son she said something to me that I don’t wish to repeat. I have decided I don’t want a relationship with her because of this and I don’t want her around my son. She is known for being a narcissist and the way she treats me and makes me feel is awful. This leaves my sons dad with no place to safely see my son as he endangers him when looking after him alone. He is now threatening me with court. He is not named on the birth certificate and I am not blocking access to my son but for his safety I will not allow him to take him. He needs to visit him at my home or my parents. I am being constantly bullied by him/ his family in regards to just allowing him to take my son when he’s endangered him multiple times. What steps do I need to take ? Should I contact someone to have this all logged or should I seek my own legal help now. I’m not sure if they want to go to court or it is just another threat to bully me. Please let me know the best place to post this if it’s not here. Thanks

I would get legal advice. You could start by asking at citizens advice.
I’d also document all my concerns and date these.
keep rude text messages from them as evidence.
move home and change phone number too if possible.
