Havnt been on for a while but felt the need to vent. We have full custody of SS6. He has lived with us for the past year and his mum has only been allowed supervised access bcos of previous abuse. We had a court date last month for a review and it was decided that she can now have one overnight stay every other week. A court order was drawn up to say she picks him up each alternate Friday from school and we pick him up on the Saturday evening. This Friday should be her first one.

Since getting full custody of SS5 my whole world has turned upside down. Its been a never ending cycle of play therapy (because of how badly BM has messed him up), 40 mile round trip every morning to take him to school bcos social services said it was too much change to put him thru changing school and coming to live with us. (They just gave us the ok last wk to put him in the same school my BS goes to) I've had to change my hours at work, the only time I am not with him is when I'm at work!

So crazy BM decided it would be a good idea to strangle her 5yr old son to 'protect herself from him as he hit her first'. We have had an exhausting few days in and out of hospital, dealing with police, social services etc.
SS5 has been given to us 'temporarily' pending social services investigation. Police have already said they are not going to prosecute her (yes you heard right!) and it looks as though social services will probably follow suit. (they always have when shes hurt him before).

So crazy BM finally allowed DH to see his son after 4 mnths of denying access. Dh arranged for his parents to pick SS up from BM and he would see him at their house. We had bought a few little prezzies for SS but I told DH that I didnt want SS to take them back to his mums bcos 1, She would probably throw them away and 2, the crazy witch fleeces us every month in CS so I refuse to give her any extras. I suggested to DH that if SS asked to take them home he could say.
