Hi,
My ex and dad to my kids was sentenced a month ago after 2 and half years since he was arrested.
He was given community service for 2 years and on the register for 5.
I supervised contact after he was arrested and stopped in while it went to court. However since finding out how long and what level he was looking at I don't want to supervise the contact.
He blamed me in court for this poor mental health yet he bullied me for years. He put me down and made out he was amazing at everything.
I believe he should be on the register for longer and I believe he should only see his kids in a contact centre now as I can supervise it in my house, his home or in the community.
Social services have finally got back to me after 8 weeks of being referred and said we can't help. We don't live with him so no social worker needed and early help have said it's not there area.
I feel so so alone with it all. I get that some people want to allow contact etc but I personally don't.
I feel bruised and so low from all this and I just want to hide under the covers and not come out but I have the kids to get me up and keep me busy.
Social services have suggested family court.
Anyone had any experience of this?
Thanks so much x

Hi,
How old are your children? Have they expressed that they want to see him? Is there a court agreement in place around contact prior to sentencing? Sorry for all the questions but this will impact on your next steps. If they are young enough not to voice anything about seeing their dad then you could potentially wait until he takes it to court for access if you don't want your children to have contact with him. If you're happy for contact to happen but not to supervise do you or him have a family member that you would trust to supervise this in their home or in the community? xx
