My autistic son’s father (previously abusive towards me and showed aggression towards his young nieces and nephews(6months-8 years when we were together) came back into our life after the DANCO was up and I’ve been supervising the visits since November 2021. He seems different now that he’s admitted his drug use and has since quit. He’s a truck driver so random drug tests. I want to give him the chance to coparent and start by letting him take our son for 7 hours on our sons 4th birthday in a couple weeks while I’m at work but I’m scared.

I’m also scared for him to take me to court and win custody and my son be forced into overnights if I don’t give him what he wants. He’s engaged and I trust her but I don’t want to relinquish control and have them split either. I would like to ask any advice, suggestions, rules to help me be more comfortable with this
