I have Ds (7.5) with my ex, we split when j was pregnant as he made my living a living hell, my ex has always has contact but literally a few hours a week (actually only an hour and a half today because he was ‘too busy’). If he has him overnight It’s 7pm on a Friday (sleep by 8) and back at 11am next day.
Anyway, over NYE his family/close friends had their usual get together with all the families children - DS not included. DS actually went in previous years
My ex has a baby with his current girlfriend (I say current as I don’t think it will last as long term as she will realise how useless he is). They go round as a family to his mothers for dinner once a week - DS has never been invited. My ex only lives 5 miles away as well!!
He’s always been a useless t**t and it’s always been about buying him expensive gifts, rather than actually spending time with him and I’m really bloody sick of it.
Last week DS was meant to stay at their new house overnight (they’ve only just moved in together) but she doesn’t want DS there so overnight visits will be stopped I think. 🤔I admit DS can be a bit hyper at times. He has high functioning autism but he’s also the sweetest, most affectionate boy you could meet and also loves his baby brother (about 6 months).
He keeps telling DS they are going out to specific places but forgets what he said. DS doesn’t cope with this very well. As he’s expecting to do the one thing his dad says they will do, but my ex plans another.
I wish he wouldn’t see him at all!! It would save the upset from DS.
