study DVD scenario, for 5o minutes. Y x-partner is back in her life they have a daughter. She
feels that he’ s jealous because she’ s got a new partner. When Y daughter was four she had
injunction toward her x and now her daughter is 8yrs old, he’ s blaming Y for not been
there in he’ s daughter’ s life, forgetting that in the past he didn’ t even show in the court
that’ s the reason why Y won the injunction against him.He recently contacted Y because he
wanted her to drop the child support which Y did. He rings Y wanting to apologise for all the
wrong he’ s done in the past. He asks Y if she can drop off their daughter to come & see him,
Y had to make long four hours journeys to & from. Y feels that her x doesn’ t respect
women. Even if she’ s dropping their daughter with him he’ s demanding that she must
pick her up at night, which Y feel that he should be dropping her back. Y’ s daughter refuses
to call her x dad & refuse to ask him anything. Their daughter will speak to the dad like a
stranger.HE treats their daughter like a boy wrestle with her she doesn’ t like the way he
plays with her, he said that he want her to toughen up she’ s always winging. Going to he’ s
house she’ s always crying and clinging to Y, sometimes Y have to stay to keep peace. Y a
doesn’ t understand why their daughter is so anxious around her own dad.He’ s now
becoming consistent he come to her house and drop their daughter at her nursery , Y is
scared that he’ s going to play daddy for 5 months and disappear , when he have a new
partner he dismiss he’ s children, when he’ s alone and lonely he picks up he’ s children,
he’ s got 4 children, Y said that there’ s more.He can’ t play daddy to all children he picks
the one’ s he’ s getting along with the mum. Now that he’ s got a new son he’ s seeing both
but as soon he stop talking to either mum, he’ s going to stop visiting that child. Y want her
x to introduce those other woman that he’ s got children with so that their kids can grow up

2. knowing each other, he feels that she want them to gang up on him.He come’ s once a week
drop off to nursery and he think he’ s parental duties are done, he said that their daughter
can’ t read and write and he’ s God son is the same age as her and he can. Even if their
daughter is in the hospital he doesn’ t visit her, he complains when Y takes her on holiday.
He doesn’ t contribute to their daughter life his buy large expensive things for himself.
Going forward I asked Y what she wants to see change, is she going to monitor him. She said
that she doesn’ t know how long this is going to last. Y said that somebody said that he need
to love he’ s child more that he hates Y. He wants to be friends but Y wants them to just
parents to their daughter because she’ s got a new partner. Their daughter likes her new
partner and looks up to him as a dad and her x doesn’ t like that, when her x visit their
home he doesn’ t stay when her new partner is there.Y use to go to her x’ s house and see
him with deferent kind of women, and when Y was running late from work the nursery call
him to come and pick her up he refuse to pick up he’ s daughter. Y wants to move to
another country and he’ s threatening to take her to court. Y think that he speak before he
think cause he doesn’ t have time to look after he’ s daughter for a week, he can only afford
an hour.When Y tells him that she’ s going to have another baby, he told her that their
daughter doesn’ t need any more half brothers and sisters. Her xs advise her to have
another child with him. He even ask her what she want and buy it, he’ s now all over her
cause she’ s got a new person in her life. Martha had to lay out rules because he was
accusing her that she’ s letting her new partner to act like the dad. Y and her x have known
each other from when they were young she thinks that’ s the reason why her x act like a
child himself. Y said that her x come back cause she took him for a child support , but he’ s x
said that he does support the child when they asked him to show documents he didn’ t have
any to show. For a home work I asked Y to speak to her x so that he understand that he’ s
going to do more as a dad and also set up task that are going to be done by her x for their
daughter.My critic of the DVD Y didn’ t appear much because the camera can only take part
of her body she sat back. I didn’ t ask much questions because she talk a lot didn’ t give a
chance to explore how she really feel, she sounded very angry with her x it almost sounded
like they were in a completion, I wanted to explore that but didn’ t get time.In this essay
