Hi All,
I 'm new to this so I hope I'm posting in the right spot. lol I'm in a bit of a spot and really not sure where to even begin or what to do. Here's my situation, I'll try to make it short as possible. Lived common law with my now ex for 5.5 yrs, we had a beautiful son May 2005. I asked him to leave July 2005 due to his alcoholism and verbal abusiveness and temper issues. We have nothing on paper in regards to visitation etc. I have refused him overnight/unsupervised visits due to his unstableness, booze, temper etc. I did however tell him he was welcome to see his son everyday if he likes, no time limit, providing that he is sober and calm. He has only had nine visits since July. I invited him over xmas eve and day so he could spend his first xmas with his son. He lives approx. 15 min away and has no license and uses that as an excuse not to visit. I did not go after him for spousal support, I'm not that kind of person, but I do feel he should help with the baby's expenses which he has fallen way behind already. Regardless, I still welcome him to see his son everyday if he chooses. He chooses not and makes excuses, I understand I can't make him be a father but should I be taking any steps legally???? He is quite mentally unstable, one day I'm the best and the next he's yelling I'm the B**CH. I was the child of an alcoholic and know the damage it can do to have an alcoholic parent whether they live with the child or not. As well I have been thinking of moving to Manitoba to live with family.
When he does call, he does not even ask about his son and gets quite hostile.
Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much
