    I really didn't want to keep it regardless.

    I'm being sent screenshots, Apparently he dumped me as I was unfaithful with a guy called Rick.

    He's getting on like an attention seeking petulant child who hasnt got his way.

    Ignore him wholly and dont ever respond or challenge him. He wants to provoke a reaction. As soon as he does so - he wins.

    I wouldnt give him the satisfaction.

    The OP is getting drawn in.

    I dont think it does any harm to know what he is doing - forewarned is forearmed and all that.

    I would as i've said, ignore all direct contact with him.

    My ex wife attempted to make my life miserable when we split up and it was all this sort of stuff. She hated being totally ignored - just like a petulant child does.

    That didnt mean it wasnt useful to know what she was doing / had been saying.

    This would make a great Money Moral Dilemma with a bit of editing.

    When faced wih a 2nd hand statement from a solicitor, or just an opinion of 'some bloke on the internet' I wonder which I would be more likely to believe?

    You are free to believe whatever you like.

    For what it is worth, I'm not a bloke. If you read further up, the relevant statutory law has already been quoted.
    All posts are my personal opinion, not formal advice Always get proper, professional advice (particularly about anything legal!)

    Someone showed them to me and said "What is he on"

    I actually laughed at his attempt at discrediting me

    Very happy to hear Dad is sound, and concerned mum may be still under the influence a tad.

    Have you shown her any of his unspeakably charming billets-doux, including the wild accusations?

    If someone started giving a child of mine lip like that, I'd pretty soon need a restraining order &/or a good lawyer.

    Tonight is a low night.

    I feel low and down. I really don't know how to snap out of it.
