My brother has a child to his ex partner, they had broken up due to her physical and emotional abuse toward him, before she found out she was pregnant. He tried the relationship again for the sake of his child, but found it was too hard. She would not allow anyone to see the baby.
After a final break up, eventually, a court order was granted so my brother could see his son. The conditions were ridiculous but he agreed if it meant he could see his son. Time and time again she would verbally abuse my brother in front of the child, leaving him distressed and crying. She would go to my brothers house and bang in doors, child screaming in arms, she has had my brother on the ground kicking him and screaming, while child is screaming around her. My brother is unable to stop the behaviour at the time. She calls him and screams, she leaves text messages that she will kill herself. Then she can be as nice as pie the next day. Is this grounds for custody? This is abuse to the child!? She believes that everyone else is 'not supporting her"! She has a house full of new furniture, computers and a car that my parents paid for, by the way.
She was good for a while, as long as my brother stayed at her house and basically did what she said - he complied to keep the peace.
Now, she is "beingsilly" again and abusing everyone, we want a stop to this. He has a court order that states when he can have him. She wont allow the son to go, her reasons being she is not supported.
She is manipulative, when my mother went to collect the child and was not allowed, " she began saying, out of the blue - "youre on my boundry and harrassing me" repeatedly. The next day the police contacted my mother with an allegation she had pushed through the door and was harrassing her".
How do we stop this? This little boy is being subjected to a terrible form of abuse! We need to act now before he gets too much older. He is 20 months old.
Help!
