So my ex bf abandoned me when I was pregnant with his child after she was born he came back into our lives and was a part of her life but than he got a gf who was insecure so she wouldn't allow him to be in contact with his daughter so again he abandoned her than they break up he comes back into her life and the cycle goes until I got tired and said no more. Now our daughter is five he went to the court with a sob story saying I have been keeping him from his daughter so they grant him visitation reluctantly I had to abide so for a couple months he would come pick her up every other weekend have her at his house for the weekend (never spent anytime with her cause he has to "work") and than of course the problems start his now fiancee feels like she runs his life so she tries to intervene in issues with our daughter and even court hearings . I tried talking to him and telling him she has 1 mother and that is me I make the decisions when it comes to her and of course he would tell her she would get mad and start calling me at all hours of the night messaging me texting until I finally blocked her and put her number on spam. Still the problems continued until he just stopped showing up for his visits i wouldn't get a call text or nothing I just would sit on the porch with our daughter waiting for hours and she would call to see where he was and he would send her to voicemail or answer but just not care saying oh I had to work and than rush off the phone. Weeks pass hear nothing from him until I get a message saying I'm not visiting anymore I'm tired of all this and I won't be in court. I just told him ok relay the message to ur lawyer so he can than pass it on to the judge and of course he starts making threats that our daughter will hate me cause I made him leave or he will come back and take her away from me I just stopped replying and I go 4 months without hearing from him and now he is back asking when can he see her. We have a court date in about a week do I have to let him see her? Can I put a stop to the visitation at least until he shows he will be more responsible? With all these inconsistencies because of him it was taking a toll on her not only here at home but at school too. After some counseling and working with with her I finally am seeing the old her shine thru and so is her teacher I would hate for all the hardwork go down the drain just because he has permission to come back in her life. What can I do to protect my daughter? How I put a stop to her "father" being irresponsible and hurting her? Please any ideas or opinions . TIA
