DD met and fell in love with a man 15 years older than her four and a half years ago who pressured her to start a family straight away. An engagement (with no sign of the promised wedding due to excuse after excuse from him) and two children later (aged one and 2), he then decided that he didn't want a relationship, but the freedom to do what he wanted when he wanted. Oh, and 50/50 'custody'. After the initial shock and heartbreak, this happened at the beginning of the year, she has picked herself up, bought her own home and moved out. According to him, the house is ok (it's actually lovely) but in a shit area (not true). The 50/50 is a joke as he constantly changes the arrangements with no notice to suit himself and his new social life/girlfriend (now more like 70/30 in DD's favour - she'd love them full time). And if she dares to ask him, well in advance, to have them a few hours extra, he threatens her with legal action because, and I quote, "you're messing me about". This has happened three times now. Throughout this time he's kept stringing her along by hinting that they could get back together in the future (now falling on deaf ears, thank goodness) if only SHE would change. He's turned up at her house unannounced to say goodnight to the kids, made a grab for her breasts when they got together to discuss the children (claiming that "we're mates, that's what mates do"!!!), and wanted to share a family changing room with her when they took the kids swimming last week until she told him it was inappropriate. My beautiful confident daughter is now on antidepressants, has lost weight to the extent that a friend asked her if she had an eating disorder last week, and is struggling to sleep. She's also discovered that he's behaved exactly the same (minus the two children) with his previous girlfriend. It would appear that his relationships have a sell-by date with the girlfriend reaching the age of 30 being the cut-off... Luckily, DD loves her job and her boss and workmates are very supportive. I'm at my wits end as to how to help her, and get this bully off her back. Any advice gratefully received. Oh, one thing that puzzles me is that in four and a half years, he's never looked me in the eye when talking to me...
