For those that have stayed with your partners, how on earth do you get SS to accept this?
They are making me see a psychotherapist to better help them understand my reasons.
They keep on I'm minimising the risk, putting him before my daughter and don't seem to listen when I say I love her more and would never let anyone hurt her. I'm not articulate and what I want to say never comes out as it should.
i thought after sentencing things might start to improve, how wrong was I!

My story is a bit of a long one, so to shorten it. My partner was arrested back in January, he's denying it and they nfad his case, we have social involved as we have a 19 20 month old.

They have said I'm minimising the risk but after the parent protect assesment it's come back as finely balanced between the two.

I kept him as I believe he didn't do it. It was viewing iioc. My son got put on a protection plan and after 4 months partner was asked to leave the home but we could have as much time together as we wanted.and he could see son whenever he wanted. So can't complain.

We have a review in December to see if we can come off the plan, partner is waiting to do an assessment and I am waiting to do a course with lucy faithful.

I have been very judged by staying with him but I've pushed through and hopefully able to be back as a family, albeit supervision between son and his dad.

The problem is is that in there eyes us keeping our partner is putting them first and not thinking of the risk. You just have to work with them, is he living with you? What sort of conditions are in place?
