My ex used to have his son practically half the week, met his now wife and promptly reduced contact to a few hours alternate days at weekend. Oh and one stay a month but promptly' and I mean on the button he's brought back at 10am the next day. My child suffered greatly as a result of this rejection and 2 years down the line we're doing great. My son is stable, doing better at school and socially. We've come through a lot and in many respects his father did us a huge favour. He was an emotionally abusive and controlling man. So, anyway, his wife is pregnant and I ve noticed my ex has been in contact with my son more and this week he's asked to have him over night. I know this man too well and I'm anxious about his motives. I'm also worried that it will prompt a return to my son feeling desperately rejected when his dad starts moving the goal posts. I'm just worried and really would value any thoughts or advice. I'm not sure I have any options other than to just say yes to everything. I could never tell my son he can't see his dad but I want to protect him.
