Hiya, advice please. My ex and I have been broken up for 6 years, it's not been an easy 6 years with him. Recently he has moved in with a friend who he is house sharing with. Our daughter stayed with him at his house for the first night and that same night the house was broken into whilst she was in bed sleeping. The only reason I know about this is because when she came back from spending the weekend with him she told me. However, she was told by her Dad that it is a secret and she is not allowed to tell me this has happened. She also told me the police came to the house but he took her to the park so the police didn't know she was at the house when it happened. This has made me furious. I have given my ex partner every opportunity to be open and tell me about the incident as I believe I should be made aware this has happened whilst our daughter was there. Not only this but he has told her to keep secrets from me. This is worrying that he is asking her to keep secrets from me. Luckily me and her have a very strong bond and close relationship that she has been able to be open and tell me this. I am concerned now as to what to do. I have spoken to my daughter about the importance of not keeping secrets from Mummy and Daddy. I have approached my ex and all I have had from him is verbal abuse and that our daughter is a liar.
From a law point of you or social services point of view (UK) how would they deal with a situation like this?
I have had endless issues with this man over the past 6 years. Rape allegations, harassment towards woman allegations, withholding my daughter from me where I've had to get courts and Cafcass involved. I am becoming more and more concerned with his behaviour and would like advice on how I should deal with this. Thank you
