Hi Vickie love, I too stepped back a bit. Felt a little overwhelmed!. I went back to work this week and that was good. I've been doing a lot of self care. I'm in a strange limbo right now. The SW hadn't been in touch since I spoke to her about 3 weeks ago!. She told me she was waiting for info from the oic before she can close the case. I just figure we can't be a very urgent case!. I always find Lee's advice calming especially the need to look after ourselves. My husband has to answer bail again in April but we've had no info from the police, nothing so it's like we are in the calm before the storm.How are your kids?, mine back to college and school on a Monday ( at last!!)

My kids doing well both been back a school for a couple of weeks now,, they both doing well.

Just found myself back on the emotional rollcoster,, ss came out and did the signal assessment which at first there where things I did not understand or I now can see maybe why they where concerned because I think I jumped in to the deep end of a swimming pool and then started to panic,, think I have released this is going to be very small steps and time taking the trust need to build with me and ss she maybe harsh when she here talking to me but then the report was really fair. We got another coming up think in a couple of months,, I am glad that muilt agnices have acknowledged that information handed over was wrong so let see what the next meeting goes..

How are u all doing xx

Hi Vickie sounds like some progress has been made for you and its good you've taken time away to look after yourself.

Louise we've got bail dates coming up waiting to see if he will have it extended again or if he will have to go in. We know devices are being looked at so if they call him in to answer bail he's prepared to be charged and interviewed. Now I know devices are being looked at part of me feels better knowing answers will come and I will get confirmation of if he is being truthful with me I know this could be a long time though. Part of me feels sick as to what are they finding.

Our sw wasn't really happy he challenged her on her contact conditions and she closed the case but he's asked to speak to her manager as soon as possible because he doesn't agree with their reasoning. I know some people are worse off as get contact in the community but they're basically saying he can't visit the home for special occasions. He wants this to be a minimum for birthdays and Xmas if we are still in this situation. It will be incredibly hard for my children to not see their dad on Xmas day again after he was suddenly taken from our home just before Xmas. My oldest child is 6 and screamed the house down as they thought daddy had died. Although my kids are young they both explain really well that daddy has a new house and doesn't live with us so they understand he wouldn't be living here just visiting. Also if we were in this situation at Xmas where the hell do we meet him in winter at xmas. Its so damaging for these children they're so young. The expense of contact in the community is going to be a strain as summer comes and things open up we will want to go for meals and days out because we've exhausted every park and walking trail and I'm sick of shivering over a coffee whilst trying to convince these kids this is so much fun every weekend. So far it's been a week and the manager hasn't called he's chased and we've been told she will ring at her earliest convenience.
