    But ex said he wants to make an example of me.

    Have you got that in writing or recorded?

    Won't that have been noted as vindictive motivation?

    If his main interest is to get you into trouble rather than what's best for his daughter, will what he says really be counted?

    It is irresponsible in the extreme for any parent to send a child of just 4 years old home with such injuries, leaving it to them to explain how they came about to the other parent. You need to know exactly what happened and of any after affects this had on your daughter such as headaches, vomiting, whether her vision was okay. If this sort of incident had happened at school this would be the normal process. As if that doesn't raise enough alarm bells the fact that your ex is ignoring your requests to talk this through is very concerning.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

    I just want to make a point incase anyone thinks I am some awful women who withholds contact etc, I really am not.

    After court at beginning of Dec he saw her for 24 hours on the weekend and then didnt turn up for his weekend which would have been boxing day (the friday) until the sunday. I offered him 8 other dates and he said he could not make any of these so ended up going from mid december to jan 9th with no contact. I have all of this documented on email as proof.

    He has been offered other dates over and above his court ordered ones as well but has always refused, I honestly think he is going to get a shock when we go back to court. We both have to write statements (I have to file mine in response to his) and I can back up everything with logged calls to Social services, emails to him (and his responses) and a recorded telephone call where he states he is going to get DD and not bring her back. That call is the only time I have ever told him not to bother coming for her as I wont let her go if he isnt going to bring her back.

    I dont know. Another thing he said in court, at the beginning of Dec, was that the magistrates were making him choose between his GF and his DD (he said this when they told him his gF was not allowed contact with her)

    I would definitely see the GP tomorrow, and also get it investigated.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    So does he not mind that his GF said that to his daughter? Sounds like a great dad.

    He said our DD is lying.

    Infact, firstly he said that it couldnt have possibly happened because he was with DD 24/7 and then over the course of a 20 minute conversation he said he took DD to work with him (he was supposed to have a weeks holiday) to he went to work himself and left DD with his GF.

    Personally, the circumstances in which DD told me (see my other posts for explanation), I believe her.
