hi its on edge

Right kiera, time for some straight talking.

You need to get the phone records

You need to see your solicitor

The CAFCASS is coming for a visit.

All of things are practical things and need to be done and although annoying and painful, not harmful.

Are you considering contacting your ex? If not then, at this point you or your children are in no harm of being separated. 

You are doing your own head in by going over and over this. You have been told why the children could go into care, but you are not contacting your ex. So that is not a reality.

You have called the police in the past to protect yourself and your children. I think whenever you start getting panicky you need to remind yourself that you are a good mum, you did what you needed to do to protect your family, you are not a criminal or an addict and although I get the feeling that somewhere deep inside you don't believe this. Its the truth.

When you feel the stress, what about sitting down with a cup of tea and some deep breaths and reminding yourself that you have done nothing wrong here and you can prove it?

Hi kiera

I am presuming that the hair strand test will show whether you are a persistent drug user or a recreational one. 

Do you know how long you have to wait for the results of the hair test?

Hello kiera, please read Anna's post again, about the straight talking,

If you are spending all the time crying then you cannot do the practical things that need to be done, either with the official people OR with your children, they need you to be there for them so you need to calm down and look after yourself AND them. What you are experiencing is the result of months and months of stress, it had all come to a head but whatever your fears, your job is to look after your children so please try to focus on this and on sorting the phone records and seeing the solicitor and Cafcass.

Well done, kiera, that is good progress today, massive pat on the back for you. Now is there something nice you can do for you and children?

Hey kiera, that is fantastic news about the hair test. Quite a relief of your mind I can imagine. So now that is out of the way, as long as you keep him from your door, you have nothing to worry about from social services - phew!

Your tea sounds nice, can I come? I haven't had bolognese for months - in fact, I might treat myself tomorrow (out with a friend tonight)

Aww I bet you just can't wait for the holiday - are you going for a whole week? Love your idea of not taking your mobile. You can let the wind blow away the last year or so and come home refreshed and ready for the future.

Did you think anymore about a wish list?

Perhaps you might want to join a course at your local childrens centre? Or go to a mums and babies water playgroup? Learn something new?

Is there anything that you have always wanted to do, but have never done. As my daughter says, this is the first day of the rest of your life and only we are in control of what we do with it! Smile

hi i do have sumat worry bout with ss as i admited to aving that,so i am stil worried,and i wanted to stil av hair strand test to prove im not regular drug user,

Louise
Parenting specialist DoppleMe

Ok well if they want you to have that then that would be fine, you are not a regular user.

I always love reading about what you have cooked, by the way Wink

Did you think about what Anna asked...is there something you have always wanted to do?

Posted on: August 1, 2012 - 7:25am

kiera

hi i think ss b incvolved as i admitted to coke, im not sure,avnt heard anything,im not sure what i want to do, well id love to live in peace, ive got contact centres to look forward to, cos no ex get sum contact, even tho he violent thug, i dont want see ex again, is it possible not see that man agian even tho we av a kidx

Posted on: August 1, 2012 - 10:43am

hazeleyes

Not sure how contact centres work kiera, but I'm sure I've read on here, that you don't need to see your ex. Someone from the contact centre would take your daughter to him, and then at the end of the stated time, they would bring her back to you. As for the SS getting involved because you've admitted to using coke, not sure on that one. Sorry. Hope you have a more relaxed day today, difficult I know, but do try and do something to take your mind off things. Maybe, a list of what you plan on packing for the hols?

Oh cute, little girls swimming costumes - they are sooo sweet! It sounds as though you are going shopping shortly then kiera!

You never know with english weather it will stay dry, it is always worth packing for the worst ie: raincoats and wellies (if theres' room) the kids don't seem to mind as long as they are allowed out to play in the puddles!!

You say that you would like to live in peace, sounds lovely. We are not sure of what will happen with the courts and contact at the moment are we, but that aside, how else can you achieve that peace?

Posted on: August 1, 2012 - 6:25pm

kiera

hi get peppa pig costume and peppa pig armbands, she loves peppa pig,iget all er clothes from mothercare online, easier, aw beta stay dry lol,achieve peace by moveing miles away where no1 nos where i am, is it possible to move miles away where ex cant find me, or will i get in trouble, i am serious

Hi kiera, costume and armbands sound real cute Laughing

It is possible to move miles away, but if the court deems that your ex should have contact then you do have to abide by that.

If the courts do not agree that he has access, then you can move wherever you wish. We will  have to wait to see what they say on this one.

In the meantime is there any way that you can find peace in your heart?

kiera, you have to try and eat something, even if it's just toast, something light maybe? If you fall ill, then you won't be able to look after the children properly, or enjoy the holiday either.

Boys always squabble, don't they? but as you get calmer and stronger yourself then the calmness will be catching and they will settle down a bit. Great that you had a Subway Smile

That's Ok kiera, we do not allow personal approaches on the boards and that is one of the reasons we are so strict about members not giving personal contact information.

Hope your day has been a bit better, have you been able to eat something?

Posted on: August 3, 2012 - 4:05pm

Sally W
Parenting specialist DoppleMe

Hi keira, i would imagine that quite a few of us have possibly felt like that at sometime, looking at other families and wanting what they seem to have.  You can be happy too keira without a man in your life and with the ex now gone you can be a happy family.

You have great kids and some good friends and focusing on all the other good things that you have or could do in your life can help. 

What are you doing this weekend?

Posted on: August 3, 2012 - 5:57pm

feel like no1 as a clue how i felt when i heard bout ex ad never left his girlfriend and also ad 7 month old baby, no1 as ever mention it to me, its just me on my own with it goin round and round in my head

Posted on: August 3, 2012 - 6:01pm

kiera

and to hear bout his violent background, horrifyin, 

Posted on: August 3, 2012 - 6:03pm

Sally W
Parenting specialist DoppleMe

I do understand what it feels like to find out that your supposed partner has been leading a double life and has a family elsewhere, so i know that all the stuff that is going round and round in your head is not going to change your situation, or make you feel any better, it is just going to go on going round and round and having you feeling all manner of emotions and making you feel confused and bad about yourself.

From experience learning to focusing on other stuff stopped me replaying the scenrio over and over as there was nothing that i could have done that would have made a difference, and i needed to stop beating myself up about it. 

I feel that this may help you too, focusing on your children and all the good things, and at the moment with the kids out of school you can spend lots of quality time together.  You never did say how your son got on the other week at the hospital?

Do you mean he has left the area, kiera or is out of your head?

Sally has given you a load of really helpful information, so do read it carefully as it will help you. Don't forget that you can share your feelings with Wave as well.

I don't know the answer to that one, kiera, that is for your solicitor to answer as I don't know the law.

With regard to the other person you mentioned, you have the option not to read any emails etc and to block people on Facebook if that is what you choose.Personal messages on here will be deleted.

Wow kiera, it sounds as though they are having great holidays so far. It is so good for them to be treated in this way, I am sure they can do with forgetting all the dramas of the last few months or so.

You mentioned before that your boys were fighting with each other. How do they get on when they are with nana or their grandma?
