I am in a bit of a dilemma, i have been discussing contact with my ex and we kept going back and fourth and got a bit acrimonious. She then suddenly agreed to let me see the little one in her home town which was brilliant. However I received a phone call from a mutual friend to say she posted a question on social network site asking if anyone was willing to "do me in" when i go to see her on Sunday. I was wondering if you could offer any advice on what i should do? Should i still go? should i report it? I have managed to get a screen shot of the post she made.
Thanks
Kieran
She (hopefully) is just venting her anger at losing some control, but that doesn't make it any less serious. You have three courses of action as far as I can see - a) you report it to the police (I believe the offence is incitement to commit murder) and see if they will have a word with her, b) you speak to her yourself (staying calm about it), or c) you say/do nothing, but keep the posting (and any future postings) and any other correspondence, plus a diary of events (you should do this anyway) as it will be useful should you go to court over contact - it will all help to back up your case as to her personality and reluctance to allow contact.
