Family and Friends Forum

I've been pushed into a corner on this one, only my parents and one other family member knew about my exs offences and we hoped to keep it that way. But the thing is because we're now going into care proceedings even though me and my ex has split up, lived apart and now going through a divorce. I have to put other family forward "just in case" as careers and my parents don't cut it anymore, despite being supervisors for years.

Just for my own peace of mind I don't have a choice but to tell my other family because I don't trust SS one bit, they've tried to assure me that they don't see any reason to remove my child but from my experiences I'll never trust these liars.

How did you guys go about it and how did they react? I'm expecting anger not just cause of the whole situation but because of how long it's been and the fact that we're now sharing the whole story as a last resort sort of thing. I'm not gonna lie, I'm scared but the way I think of it is I'd rather have my family angry at me than lose my child x

It's because I fell pregnant with his child which I unfortunately not long ago suffered a miscarriage so they said I'm not a protective parent and funnily enough called me a liar even though they were fully aware that back then my ex and I were in a relationship. I'm glad that they aren't immediately looking to take my child but looking for alternative carers is purely for a safety net just encase SS for whatever reason don't see me as a fit parent and because I don't trust them in the slightest, I have to put carers forward.
