Merry Xmas all.
seeking advice as im not sure if im overreacting here.
single Parent of ds7 here. Ds’s father has 3 other children from previous marriage - 2 of whom are adults and one boy aged 15, this child leaves with him permanently after his mother left the country (long story which I have never got to the bottom of…)
ds stays with dad currently 1 day/night per week during termtime but has 50% of a school Hols - didn’t agree to this bit was awarded by court. There are welfare issues imo with ds being under care of dad, ss previously involved
some of these issues involve the 15 year old being ‘mean’ to ds and being violent with him. Dad always denies.
recently ds told md that he showers alone at his dads house and that the 15 year comes into ‘watch’ him in the bathroom, then goes, but deliberately switches off the light so he is in the dark and his dad is left to switch it on.
am I right to be concerned about this?
