      Need advice ex abusuve partner having contact with kids. Having contact in a house with little heating and some issues with damp. Lately ramped things up and will not communicate with me at all about the children. To the point of being difficult about dropping off and pick ups . Feels like he’s doing it all over again, don’t want the kids not to see thier dad. It this is hard to deal with, any advice please? Sorry vague post tired of dealing with the constant stress.

      My sympathies are with you, Tinks. They will do anything to keep us tired, stressed and downtrodden. They like that they can still have some effect on our lives. A diary is very useful. Make a note of contact arrangements on the first page. Then, every time he has them make notes – what time he picked them up, dropped them back, what was said between the two of you, what the children said when they returned. Don’t pump them for information as this can be seen as influencing them – just keep it general, nice time? What did they eat? Warm enough? If they are old enough, get them to jot down a few thoughts on their visits in the back or in their own diary. After a few weeks, you can go to court with your concerns, as you have kept a record of events. My friend found this very useful.
