Family and Friends Forum

Hi I've not been around much sorry I've tried to distance myself and just get on with life and dealing with social services. We have finally got a court date for next month with 9 charges against my ex. It's taken a very long time and caused so much stress and anxiety for my family. All my old fears have surfaced about it being made public and how work colleagues, friends and strangers will react. I'm fighting to keep my children with me because we were on the child in danger plan because of what my ex did but since I made it clear he's having no contact and I don't want social services organising contact with him at all we are still on the child in danger plan for neglect on my part. They say from the abuse he did to my daughter and how it's effected her and how the others have had multiple illnesses in the last few months it needs looking into (also my children's school and my ex in-laws are reporting to social worker every little fault in me or that I make) so they put it as neglect on my part. Since that meeting I've not seen any of the care team. I feel they just wanted to keep them on the in danger plan but couldn't use my ex anymore.
not looking for any advice but if u can advise please do and I just wanted to tell someone and get it off my chest. Thanks
