Please can I have a private post. I broke up with my ex four years ago years ago. He was violent. We have a five year old son. He didn’t see him from the day I left until about 9 months ago due to police involvement. Cut a long story short, after the trial (I pressed charges for assault) the court said he can see him supervised and see how that goes. He’s been having him at his house for about four months now. Our son doesn’t know anything about the violence but he knows that ‘we aren’t friends’ as I had a restraining order against him. Anyway, my sister does the handovers with my ex so I don’t have anything to do with him. He’s now with someone else and they’ve had a child, he’s also took on a three year old step daughter (she calls him Dad as her own Dad is in prison and will be forever basically). Last week he told our five year old son that he wasn’t Emily’s real Dad but when Emily is old enough they will tell her and not to tell anyone – I thought this was a bit much tbh as it’s a big secret for a five year old to keep.
Also, in two weeks he is going in hospital for ‘the snip’ and he told our son all about this. Again, I just think five is too young to understand this. I have two younger children and our son has told them all about his dad not being able to have more kids. Which actually upset my daughter as she thought it meant the operation would take her brother away.
Then lastly, our son thinks Santa watches through the year to make sure they are being good. (Which is what I thought was normal to say) Well my ex told him that Santa only watches him when he’s at my house not when he’s at his house- which kind of encourages bad behaviour at his house does it not?
Am I wrong to be mad at this? I just feel like if I say something to my ex he will hit the roof and say it’s his son too. Which I get, I’m just not happy about him telling him stuff like he has. Just don’t think it’s necessary. Am I being daft??
