So after going through all the agro of the risk assessment I was informed yesterday that she has completed it and it has been passed to her manager for approval. She did say she would be coming to see me with a safety plan (I had already produced one that I had given her) but hers would be more formal and she asked to meet with all my children to talk to them about online safety and discuss the pants thing on the NSPCC. I'm seeing this as maybe a good sign that my husband may be able to come home although I'm trying not to get my hopes up to much. (Too many times things have gone the opposite of what I wanted to happen).
ive been really struggling recently, not having control of how my life is going is taking it's toll. My children are all so angry and argue a lot. I understand they are finding this so hard and they all just want their dad home again. My 5 year old told her safeguarding teacher that her dream was for daddy to come home. I've got an appointment with gp Friday to try and give me a little bit of support.
any one else had Behavior issues with your children because of this? (My girls are 5, 13 and 14). Any advice would be extremely helpful.

My oldest daughter just argues with everyone about everything and my youngest has started to hit me and tells me pretty much day how she hates me and wants a new mum. I know this is her venting her anger out on me because I won't leave her but on my rotten days her words hurt. Maybe it's just me being too over sensitive.

my girls haven't really showed any worrying signs to social worker (just that my oldest is struggling emotionally) and my children hate our social worker so don't think they'll open up to her about how they're feeling.

Thanks for your advice Lee. I will speak to the sw when she visits next. my eldests safeguarding teacher is aware of my daughter struggling. I havent said anything about my youngest, I suppose i feel a bit of a failure as a parent and feel ashamed that she is doing this to me.

It makes complete sense thanks Hun. I've realised to be strong enough for my girls I need to look after myself which is why I've booked in with the doctors Friday to see if I can get some anti depressants to help pick me up a bit. I'm also considering councilling but haven't fully got the kick up the bottom for that one yet. I will definitely mention about the girls behaviour and get the help I need though. Thank you. X
