Hi,
I haven’t made many posts yet mainly because I don’t feel that i can offer much advice as I’ve only recently left but I do read loads of the posts and have found an awful lot of help, comfort and reassurance that it’s not just me going through these things.
The reason that I wanted to reply to your post was because my ex attacked my son. He hit him and kicked him and squeezed his head with his hands. I feel guilty because I didn’t get out sooner, he has a history of violence and attacked me many years ago and has been quite horrible to my son for quite a while.
I too have been told that there is a chance that if he goes to court for contact that he might get it – howb wrong is that???!!! I think though that maybe I might have more chance of fighting it than you because my son is old enough to say what happened and hopefully cafcass will listen to what he says, he says that he never wants to see his dad again.
Any person in their right kind would say no way should these men ever have contact after what they’ve done but even when we have fought to get our precious children out we still have to fight and defend our choices and attempts to keep them safe. It’s all so wrong.
At the moment I’m saying no he can’t see then and if he wants to take it further then he will have to go through the courts, so far he hasn’t. I wish we never had to see him or speak to him and I’m so scared at the possibility of him being awarded contact.
