He moved into his girlfriend's

[Surviving]

So I get a text (Detail removed by Moderator) saying he has moved. Wouldn’t tell me where. He dropped my daughter home (Detail removed by Moderator) and my daughter said he moved into his girlfriend’s flat. I do feel a little weired about it. About my little girl having another woman bringing her up too. I know something I have to get used to but this is a woman that smacked her before my ex moved in with her. My daughter should be aloud to be happy and she is happy living with me and her brothers. Now she is squeezed into a small flat on her overnight visits and she don’t get on with her son.

Hi Surviving,

This must be incredibly hard for you. I think you are doing so, but do make sure you keep a detailed record of anything that happens with your ex and his new partner, particularly how your daughter feels or behaves after contact. You may be able to use this record in future.

If you haven’t already you could consider calling The Family Rights Group for a conversation about your situation; they may be able to offer some suggestions and support.

Kind Regards,

Lisa

Thank you. I have tryed calling them but never seem to be able to get through. My daughter has recently started getting aggressive. She literally beats me up and I don’t know how to deal with that. I recently saw her book on the table and I had a nosy. A page says she is sad that she has to go daddy’s. She came home with a huge bruise on her leg and she said she wouldn’t get in the car so he lost his temper and pushed her in and hurt her on the arm of the carseat. He admitted he used restrain the older boys in the carseat and fight to get them in. I have showed it to social care but still they can’t help

Hi Surviving,

It must be so upsetting for you to see your daughter behave this way and to read about how she is feeling. It is very concerning about the bruise and how she said it happened. I have sent you a private message with some detail but I also thought the organisations below might be of help to you for some support in what you and your daughter are going through:
