Co parenting frustrations

Does anyone else get frustrated by the co parent? Our daughter is on soya milk, he won’t provide it for her whilst she’s there . He doesn’t provide the correct diet ( no dairy diet completely ) . Recently she had a 72hr long reaction & I had to do the best I could do to help her feel better . He won’t do anything as for doing co parent duties . Doesn’t share the load , so I do everything . He’s offered countless opportunities. How do I honestly cope? One tired frustrated parent rn 😭

Have I read this right? He's effectively poisoning his daughter when she's with him? I would refuse access to be honest with you, your daughter's wellbeing must take priority. When/if he took you to court it can all come out there!

@Rachel can’t refuse any contact . Already went to a solicitor who said not to bother unfortunately on refusing contact & to address him on it ( he doesn’t listen to me anyway )

This absolutely needs taking back to court. If she medically needs a no dairy diet and he isn't doing this he is actively putting her in danger, it's neglectful. I would be contacting social services.

This needs taking back to court if he is poisoning the child! I’d talk to a different solicitor. Also calling social services is a good idea like Alex said

@Alex hasn’t been taken to court in the first place . Only got advice & it was the fact she goes to him regularly is stacked against me personally . Anything he chooses to do , will not be slated by court at all .

Which I agree is majorly shit , I would re consider a different solicitor again in the new year . But I’ve already noted several things against him where I have dates etc anyway . So atleast I have something to take with me

They also told me to re educate him & make sure he’s aware of what needs to be giving her . I gave him a list of ingredients that is listed as dairy & to not give to her . I am going to get allergy testing re done too . But it’s all on her medical records that she has the allergy despite what his family says & that it’s not a real allergy.

If it hasn't been to court do you have any legal parenting plan in place? If you don't I would 100% be stopping contact until he can prove he can and will provide the diet she medically needs.

@Alex we’ve been meditating before . Nothing legal is in place & never has been . I have just set it as a basis with him & tried to best manage it as much as I can . But it’s getting to the point where I may have to consider legal route because he also doesn’t stick to basics either on that

If there's no legal parenting plan in place you absolutely can refuse access, especially when he's endangering your child. Contact social services, citizens advice and make sure you have written proof that he is unwilling to provide the correct diet on his time. I would also make sure you have medical records of any reactions she's had after spending time with him or while in his care.

@Alex I’ve noted all reactions in my notes with dates . I’ve also noted other things against him as well . My concern is nobody is going to do anything against him or I am going to have a very difficult time proving he’s doing these things
