DEAR DEIDRE: MY daughter managed to get out of an awful, violent marriage four years ago.
She is 45 and now lives with my three grandsons and her new boyfriend, and is very happy.
No issue is too small, too large or too embarrassing. Read our personal replies here.
Her ex has no contact with the children but members of his family regularly turn up at my home unannounced – to ask where my daughter and her kids are living or to try to catch me out.
I am a 72-year-old man and dread the day they will turn up again.
I always keep the conversation as short as possible but worry they will take their frustrations out on me or my home – their family do not have the best reputation.
When they ask to see the children, I always politely suggest that they go through the courts for access.
I don’t like my daughter visiting my home any more in case they turn up when she is here.
Every problem gets a personal reply, usually within 24 hours weekdays.

They would be able to advise you about your situation and on how to stop this man’s family from turning up unannounced at your home.
