Fathers who are bad examples/people

posted 13th Feb
For the moms who's children have fathers who are bad examples/people and the children have visitation with them, how do you deal with it?
I stopped letting my son's dad see him when he was 2 months (he'll be 6 months next week) and we just went through the system and have set up supervised visits at his mom's place twice a week for 3 months probation period.
He uses drugs and is abusive to his girlfriends while his children are in his care. He is a sociopath. The idea of my son forming a relationship with someone who is so unhealthy worries me so much. The idea of him being in unsafe situations where I can't potect him makes me break down.
How do I deal with this? I don't want him growing up thinking it's ok to be like his father.

I told him if he wants to see his daughter, take me to court. Period. No word from him yet.

Who supervises?

My eldest's dad is a heroin addict but he doesn't get visitation.

His mother will be. I wanted it at an access centre but my lawyer didn't think that would be granted (even though he told me elsewise before). His dad smokes pot, which some say isn't a big deal but any drug abuse around kids is a huge deal. especially when you pass out when you should be caring for your children and you spend more money on getting high than providing for your children. pisses me off.

That's really sad   I couldn't imagine being in your situation. I hope that either you can get a better arrangement or the father can work his smurf out especially because witnessing domestic violence has such an impact on children. Good luck.

Thank you, me too. As much as I would love for him to change, I don't see it happening. He has a nine year old also so being a parent is nothing new for him.

No, just mj use wouldn't likely get you court supervised visitation.

Weed isn't the only issue. He's violent. For example: he broke his dog's leg because it ate his bag of weed.
