Blimey! That is controlling, quite unbelievable really, it sounds like you have your head well screwed on I suppose all you can do it carry on as you are and do your best, a child will make up there own mind at the end of the day and I'm sure if you're the strong and stable one you won't ever go far wrong.
At 4 years old your daughter will know whats what already, it sounds like your ex is in a bit of a mess and not happy in her life, does she have any issues with drink or drugs? Is she working?
Yeah man Peppa Pig world isn't to far from you really its 10 miles west of southampton, we travelled down from the west midlands took a couple of hours at daughter in the car speeds, If you do go try and get the meet and greet with Peppa and george before the park opens, my daughter had me waiting for an hour in the pouring rain when they were doing the public meet and greet later in the day. I've honestly never seen my girl so happy it was such a good day 🙂
Yeah, it's pretty scary.I received another barrage of texts today telling me I was useless and my daughter will never be proud of me, etc, because she wants more money than what she's getting through child maintenance and child benefits.The usual rubbish. She's now telling me that when she speaks to other single dads they are on her side and think I'm a waste of space, and in the same in regards to the toys and clothes. Apparently these dads are saying the opposite to you guys...
She does work and she doesn't take drugs, as far as I know anyway. There's something going on mentally with her. And that's not a dig at mental illness at all. I suffer from depression and anxiety myself. She has a history of depression and self harm, but no one knows for certain to what extent. When I was with her she pulled the wool over my eyes and made me believe she was fine, and she wasn't taking any meds so that was the 'proof', though not needing them and not taking them are two very different things. When I took her to court to get my access back, the court requested both of our medical records. They got mine as far back as ten years, hers as far back as two weeks. Her records supposedly just vanished when she changed Dr's not long before the court process began, Her original Dr was a good friend of the family too, and they are very persuasive family - you don't say 'no' to them. We know for certain that there is critical information in those reports purely because of how she behaved when she was with me and scars on her arms. There's no way she is stable. So it was all very convenient when the records were 'lost'. Neither me nor my solicitor were happy, but Cafcass and the judge didn't feel the need to investigate it, because even if she had a history of mental illness that could be a danger to our daughter they were happy to go along with what she had told them herself (a whole pack of lies) and that 'anything that had happened in the past didn't matter'. We considered battling it but Cafcass weren't going to budge and we would have lost a load of money.
Peppa Pig World sounds great. I've been unwell lately, so it's something for the future should I get a little better.
