Finally heard that my assessment to do supervised contact has been signed off so I can start supervising during half term I don't know the specifics yet only heard from my daughters school wellbeing officer/councilor hopefully feel a bit of normality for my daughter who's been so confused and lost without her dad, I'm appalled it's taken nearly 5 months she won't have seen him for 6 months by the time half term comes I feel like I should be happy but I just feel sad that I have ss involved in the first place and judging me on my parenting.

How did the half term go with the supervised meeting up? I cannot help as I have older children, but sending a virtual hug.

Thank you so much for your reply I think it went ok the SW was supervising with me but give no indication on how it went she said she'd let me know how it went ect later that day but I'm still waiting the plan didn't get discussed beforehand either so no idea what is actually going on I have a lot of support from the school counselor and she's been trying to get in touch with her for days now as we have a teams meeting on Thursday and she thinks it's wrong that she's not been in touch or discussed what the plan. is I've never seen any plan but just going along with whatever they've asked of me so I can get the supervised contact and be able to do it on my own as she originally said she didn't trust our relationship not to resume I just want some normality for my daughter she was so excited last week when she seen him and has asked when she can see him again.
