DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER she failed to protect our nine-year-old daughter from her abusive boyfriend, I don’t want my ex to have any contact with her.
I’m 36 and finally won custody last year.
My ex partner was incapable of looking after our daughter when she got with a dodgy boyfriend three years ago.
I was never keen on the guy because he was a heavy drinker and would row with my ex, even when our daughter was home.
There would be times I would turn up and see bruises on my ex, but she never took my advice to leave him and endured years of abuse.
