My ex husband and I do not get on, mostly due to the manner he treats our two children. We parted company with a bang after he manhandled me and hurt me, which the kids know about. He didn't intended to hurt me, but nonetheless he did. He met a new partner and moved in with her and this made the kids feel insecure. I know this cannot be helped, but he made them aware that they come 2nd to his partner. On one visit my ex hurt our eldest child (12), she needed to be chastised, but he still hurt her and he should know better. Now she refuses to visit with him. He does not try with her, he comes and collects our youngest (who is starting not to want to go either) and even forgot the eldest's birthday! Both children feel like they mean little to their father, he even told them they were only guests in his new home on their visits. Because the youngest is now refusing to visit as often he is now threatening court and saying i should force the kids to visit. I would appreciate any advice
