Hi IM's
My ex and I have been on and off since our son (2yrs now) was born. The last time was the final straw.. He is on ice yet again so I am done. We live an hour away from him, he is living with his parents. I take our son to see them once a fortnight. Our schedule used to be: one week I would drive there had the following week he would come here but he has missed the last two visits at our place, saw him today randomly and he was high so I have made the decision to cancel the visits at our place as I am not comfortable with him being here just the two of us and our son. I can't really afford to be driving an hour there and an hour back every week so the fortnight visit is all he gets now. Anyway, after I cancelled the visits here, he is now saying I have to drop our son off for the visit as I'm not welcome at their house anymore (it's out of spite). So he is either expecting me to drive one hour and drop him off, drive home, then drive back there and home again. That's 4 hours in the car.. 400kms in one day!!! Or, I can sit in the car for 5 hours and wait. It's incredibly unreasonable and only being done out of spite. Can anyone offer suggestions other than going to mediation please.

He can meet you half way at McDonald's or sonewhere. Have the visit in public is safer for everyone involved and you can watch from a distance that way with a coffee. Or meet at a playground that's half way.
If he won't meet half way in public place I would not be doing visitation until he sorts mediation.
Good luck to him. If you dont do it he misses out, youd think he could bother to pic them up and have his visit. Not your problem, no way id do it. Wouldnt even discuss it. Just tell him when his time is no reply needed.
