My child’s father lives abroad and a court order was placed for two weeks twice a year. He has to give me two months notice when planning to visit and this has never been adhered to. The last two years he has only come once per year.
He promised to collect our child from school last week and was more than 45 mins late. This devistated him and at five years old he had told all of his class and was excited to show his daddy off.
When my ex was supposed to bring our son back to a pre arranged place at 4 and didn’t turn up til gone 7 by which point I needed him to bring him to my house. My anxiety is through the roof with all of this.
There was a strong history of controlling behaviour, emotional and other abuse.
How can I manage my son’s expectations of visits with his father when its so irregular and promises aren’t kept.
His behaviour has changed dramatically at school and he’s been placed on level three warning, they have a support worker at the school and I have kept them updated so we have support there.
It just breaks my heart, he’s going again tomorrow with his dad for the weekend then he’s away again until next year.
Does any one else have a situation similar to this?
What can I do to help my son
