Awful situation with xdh

me and xdh split 3 weeks ago and he moved into his dads.
this weekend he asked could he have both kids to stay on saturday night.

when he dropped them off there was a girl in the car with him, his stepbrothers girlfriend, when i was putting dd to bed she told me that xdh and the girl had told her they were taking her away on holiday and that the girl had gone into daddys room.

ds told me he came downstairs to find them entwined on the sofa, he,d got upset and xdh told him to shut up.
he told me the girl had been winding him up shouting boo in his ear loud (ds is asd)
i saw red and text xdh and asked him what was going on.
he sent me a number of not very nice text,saying ds is a shit stirrer and i can stick him up my arse, that ill never get another man as long as ds is with me.
he doesnt want anything to do with ds any longer, ds is not his biological child.
ds is distraught at what has gone on, but ive talked to him and made it out like its his decision that he no longer sees xdh.
ive told xdh to bring the car back that he,s not swanning around with his new girlfriend.
(he even took her to my mums yesterday looking for me)
and ive asked him not to come to the house any longer, that ill liase with his parents about dd -who he still wants to see.
im absolutely devestated for ds.
ive got to phone his school and let them know whats gone on and im dreading it.

xdh has also accused ds of being a liar and said there is nothing going on tween him and this girl but i believe ds.

i saw my counsellor today.
she advised me in light of how abusive he has been twards ds and that his girlfriend was also that perhaps i shouldnt let dd stay over at his dads house especially when his girlfriend is there and he doesnt seem to be able to controll his emotions and behaviour.

she suggested that perhaps me and the kids have a break from him and that he doesnt come round to my house or near ds (i wont let him anyway)

but i dont know what to say to him, he will kick off big time as he dotes on dd.

more details have come out, ds wanted to come home to me on saturday and xdh wouldnt let him, he and his girlfriend took her stepson and dd and ds and a friend to wacky warehouse on sunday but wouldnt pay for ds to go in, he found a red sticker on the floor and put it on so he could go and play

dd told me that sleeps in daddys room, but dd and ds were sleeping in his room,then ds found xdh and his girlfriend (who is supposed to be going out with xdh,s stepbrother) entwined on the couch.

can anyone advise me.
thanks

Hi there

I think a solicitors letter is on order. I know you are used to dealing with all of his crap but, you really shouldn't have to. You need someone on your side. You shouldn't have to be worried about him kicking off, you shouldn't have to be going through this. You need to put some space between you so that you can 'heal' from all of his abuse. I would definately be using a solicitor as means of communication now.

Good luck to you xx

I agree with Time4me about getting legal advice. You might unfortunately be on shaky ground legally if you stopped him seeing DD - think counsellor is absolutely right about exh not coming in your house though. sorry exh has been so utterly horrible to your DS.

Good idea, Time4Me. We get so tangled up in this abuse that we don't realise we could get some outside, impartial help. And being legal help, it puts him firmly in his place. I'm so angry about the wacky warehouse thing, I nearly cried. Good riddance to the scumbag. And I would DEFINITELY tell his stepbrother about him and lovely girlfriend.

OMG I am so angry for you about their treatment of your little boy.
