  • It's a bit of a worry if she is naive, do you think she will believe everything he tells her (even if it isn't true).

    You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time
  • She will believe some, but not everything he says.
  • Do you know why he's not allowed contact with his child? It sounds like that is the likely trigger.

    I received contact when I was pregnant with DD1 due to my history with my parents: father violent, mother massively neglectful and court proceedings meant father wasn't allowed near me when I was a child. They just wanted to check that I wasn't in contact with him, that I was coping ok (it did bring up lots of memories) so it will likely be about his past if there is a reason he's not allowed access.

    They are not all the baby stealing harpies some make them out to be, but if your cousin is naive, especially with regards him, it would be wise to have her Mum and Dad there just in case she doesn't take in how serious it is (if it is serious and not just a general check).
