Ever since we split, I would stay at his house on Christmas Eve in our daughter’s bed. We would spend all of Christmas Day together and I would cook for his family and go home on Boxing Day while my daughter would stay with her dad. He now has a relatively new partner. She has a son who is a few years younger than my daughter and he goes to his dad’s on Christmas Day. Last year he asked me to leave his house with my daughter at 5pm on Christmas Day so he could have time with his partner, which I did. This year he has told me he wants to have half of Christmas Day with our daughter on his own. This will leave me at home on my own. I have said absolutely not, I’m not going to be without her, and if he doesn’t want to spend time in my company that’s his choice. He’s basically said that things have changed and what did I expect? He and his new partner are moving in together next year and he is relocating to Kent which is an hour’s drive from us in London. Last year I suggested his partner join us after her son goes to his dad’s but she didn’t want to. I’m so upset that it’s come to this. I was always so proud of how well we were managing co-parentin
