Will the family ever have chance to be back together?
Notifications OFF
I was wondering if fathers are ever allowed back home and if yes how long it has taken? It has only been a couple of weeks but the children want to know if Dad can ever come home? Social services at the moment are not allowing any access and my husband is distraught being away from his family what are people's experiences please
Hi sorry I can't really answer your question but it's something I think about a lot too. We're 8 weeks in and they still have not been able to see one another. I do think about whether we'll ever be back together too. I hope you get the answers you want.
I really feel for you both that you aren't allowed any contact. That must be so hard. My husband is allowed 4 hours of supervised contact a day and it's made a massive difference to my children's well-being. They are struggling enough with him not being allowed to stay overnight. I often wonder though if he will ever be allowed back home.
Hi, it's awful when SS are doing their assessment and there's no contact. I get they have to manage risk but they don't think about the children's wellbeing at all. For us it was 5 weeks to the day that they could see their dad. We are still only almost 8 weeks into this mess n I have the same burning question.
Our social worker has now closed the case on the basis that he isn't living here and is having supervised contact with the kids. I asked about him returning home n his answer was 'we don't even know what he is being charged with yet!' then he mentioned if that's what we want one day the kids will be put on child protection.
I hope one day to reconcile my family too. That hope is the thing that's keeping me going.. Although I know it won't be easy...i know there are families who manage to do this in the end!
Sending you lots of love and strength. Xxx

We're 11 weeks in and still no contact allowed. Our assessment has been made and we've had 1 cin meeting so far, but father is deemed not to have access still even though the bail conditions state supervised. Its all still very much up in the air for us unfortunately. Luckily my children are quite easy going abd don't ask too many questions
Thank you all and I really feel for all of you
my children are finding the social services and not being able to see their Dad more distressing than the incident and from your answers their is not going to be a quick outcome I'm not sure my husband will survive he has already been sectioned for wanting to take his life over this I know I should think it's his own stupid fault but i can't stop worrying about him as well
be brave all of you until today I never imagined how many people were out there living a nightmare

I find it quite bizarre that it obviously depends on where you live as to whether your husband is allowed any contact. I know my husband would have taken his own life if he had been banned altogether from seeing the children. They are his life.
I really feel for all of you that aren't allowed even supervised contact. It's such an desperately awful situation to be in.

My ex still has supervised contact 1 year on. I supervise this and social services are not involved at all.
However, my son said the other night "one day dad will live here again". This is heartbreaking. It will never happen.

Social service is a critical task, lots of complication, but lots of hope and blessings. I don't know what to say about your problem, but I wish you great future ahead and great blessing to your whole family.
