my ex has started to just call at the house whenever he wants making me look bad in front of the children if I don't let him in.
he has always been very mean with words.
The other week I lost my dad I had to leave the him with the children, i sat with my dad for 3 days and nights till he passed I rang him to tell him my dad had gone he said,you need to get back to your kids now its selfish to leave them so long.
my mum came back to stay with me and collapsed I rang an ambulance he was due to bring kids back i told him to keep the children a bit longer so they didn't get upset,he called me an idiot for ringing them and selfish as kids gone through enough told me to send ambulance away.
Christmas day he turned up at 9am to see kids even though I said 11am took kids to grandparents to open presents ( they live a few doors away) he told the kids they cant bring their gifts back to the house but eldest snuck his phone back,an hour later ex found out and came round banging on door I asked him to go he kept banging scaring children I opened the door a crack to ask him to go he pushed it open and started shouting and screaming my youngest was so scared he went to go up stairs to get the phone I went in front to stop him and he started hitting me around the head, my mum said she was ringing police kids begged her not to , his dad walked in at this moment and took him home but not before he said to my mum you didn't see anything .
ive reported him to police.
he turned up on boxing day his day and kids wouldn't go with him.
he turned up yesterday his weekend but again kids were apprehensive so he said he wouldn't just take them to his auntie for an hour. he hasn't brought the children back he text to say he was taking them away for weekend ,they don't even have coats!
because its his weekend he can go away with them.
can I do something to stop him having them for weekends? or overnight? im worried about his state of mind.

can you go to solicitor tomorrow and apply for an injunction? Tbh this man is very violent and impulsive and how he just grabbed the kids no change og clothes etc for them that is actually neglect and needs to be recorded with solicitor too. Can you use this to stop contact esp with how volitile he is? Solicitor will know hopefully. Contact Family Rights a helpline for DV situations via google tomorrow they can also assist you on the law and what steps to take. Try and stay safe dont answer the door unless you know it is not him, keep your mobile on 999 ready to press etc sorry dont mean to startle you or OTT cant help it re ptsd from ex from past.

Report everything, get legal advice and stop contact on the grounds of his abusive behaviour. You can get contact restricted to supervised only as he has been neglectful and it is clear DC are not safe or properly cared for with him.
How old are DC? If one is old enough to be given a phone then s/he is at least old enough to be listened to by a court WRT not wanting to spend time alone with this man.
