So the following day, I got her up, got her ready in her dress and sent them off with him.

And that evening, I had told him, because he'd dropped them at my parents' house because he wasn't allowed near the house that we were in.

And he got out of the car and he stumbled.

He was half drunk.

He got out of the car and my daughter had chocolate all down the front of her communion dress.

And do you know the way you wear it the day two for the school?

Yes, yeah.

So mom and I gave the night cleaning that or whatever and I went to my solicitor, told him what happened and the next court date that was brought in and the judge was still very much, well, he is their father and I'm kind of going, well, at this stage, my solicitor was there, I spoke up myself.

So then left, didn't want any, I obviously didn't want any maintenance or anything like that.

But prior to actually courting me and out of things, he tried to take my son one day in the car.

He locked the car.

I can still see him inside, roaring, mommy, mommy, mommy.

And there was a neighbor there near us.

And I started roaring for the neighbor.

And you see, he clocked, he didn't want anyone to see him that way, you see.

Because it was always behind closed doors.

So I managed, he unclicked the button or whatever it was, and I managed to get him out of the car.

But we had a family friend back home who was living near us and I rang him and I just told him what was going on.

And he said to me, ring me any night.

He said, if I'm on duty, he said, I'll get someone.
