I was dragged to court by my other halfs father as he hadn't seen my daughter due to the horrible things he said about her before she was born, never bothering to contact once she had been born and all of a sudden, he. Wanted to see her. He caused alot of strain to mine and ohs relationship, would lie to split us, even accused me of cheating at one stage.
I felt like no one would listen to my reasons why contact shouldn't be made, I felt he wouldn't keep at it, Ifelt it was another way he could try to part me and his son, and it wouldn't benefit my daughter, she has a large family.
Anyways, iv stool to my side, iv made sure to book time off work once a month for him to come see her. But lately every time I book the time off and arrange with him, he's always too busy with petty things like nights out, the occasions he does come round, he makes it clear it's an inconvenience to his plans and he makes me feel awkward in my own home and my daughter doesn't like him either. She shows abit of interest when he's bought her round a present but the attention is short lived and she spends most of the time clinging to me.
I'm feeling frustrated that I have to continue to stick to booking time off work, to change plans for him to be too busy to do what he spent God knows what on going to court..
Does anyone know where I stand? can I get the order lifted at all?
