Hi my cyps meeting was cancelled they let me know 3 hours before it was due to start. I had to find out from the solicitor too as they had emailed her. I mean come on it’s not like I’m important and need to know. I rang my social worker twice on the morning of the meeting and only got answer phone. I literally cried when the solicitor rang because I'd got myself in a right state not hearing anything or having a invite to the online chat I thought it was going to escalate to court. I now have to go another week for the meeting so again I'll get worked up on the run up. I want it all over with.
SS says it's my solicitors fault as she was busy that day of the meeting and she says she's been chasing them to let them know and rearrange the meeting nearly two weeks ago after I'd booked her.
It's so unfair I feel if it was me giving SS the run around I'd be in trouble. SS have all this power over me yet I feel they are taking the pee and giving me the run around. I'm in limbo just waiting for them to get there act together. I had a list of things to do which I've started I've been to doctor because they claimed I'm depressed and hell I've even booked a decorator but SW never revisited after handing me the papers apart from on the day of the meeting. SW said she's even sent some more paperwork to my solicitor that I also needed a copy of I've rang my solicitor today asking for a copy but she checked while I was on the phone and no paper work was sent nor a new date and time for the meeting.
sorry for the rant I just needed to get it off my chest with someone who would understand

Hi Rusty123

I don't come on here often because it doesn't give me the support I need and also can make my PTSD worse, but I wanted to let you know I come here to see how you are doing, I'm so heartbroken for you and don't understand why they are doing this to you. As I understand it you're not with the offender, so that should go in your favour with SS. I know you're child had said they see their dad, which you say isn't true, I don't understand why SS are taking this story as gospel, I work with 4 years old and the story's they come up with can be amazing, one child told me they live on a farm with their twin, not true, another told me their grandmother died, not true. They make up story's and totally believe they are true.

I will keep coming back to check on you, hope everything goes OK, and sending lots of love.

Thank you dawn and Cher.
I feel that after being told whatever my sons told the teachers the SW has already made her mind up. She asks me why my son is saying the things he does and that he must be getting the idea from somewhere. Ofcourse my reply of I don't know doesn't go down well because I literally don't know why he says what he does at school. All I think is because he hears others talking about there dad so he mentions his.
thanks
