Typical. Not that things are bad enough, wondering where did i go wrong. did i put too much into the disabilities in the family did i neglect my husband. sorry i looked so ruff, running round for all the family. Please get of your butt and help me i keep feeling dizzy. I need some sleep. Nothing, he'd rather text, sit at his computer, ignore us and go out on his own, that was the last 3 months of hell before he left.

Now the next 6 and a half months were infact worse.

my sonz face kept flaring up, time of his 1st year at secondary is unacceptable, so education welfare threatend me some imprisonment on the day my husband left us.

in pieces i take myself to the school for support, they have now made a referral to social services. i have collapsed at the gym..went to the doctors they send me to a mental health insitute for depression..5 weeks later of having my whole world picked and poked at with threats and patronisation. i go back to the doctors and say i don't believe this is a mental health issue. so he actually evaluates me after i burst into tears with pain..an emergency bloods and scan was done to reveal i have gallstones

in the meantime this is now 10 weeks after my husband has left i already live with ADD and runs in some of my children. but we don't get any support for that, so now i'm told to keep a diary by the referral the ss  have made to the mental health dept. fair enough I can input where my mood shows distaste everytime i am being harrassed.

My dad then passed away. i told them me and my family would like family time this week for the funeral etc.

Now concerns were raised for the safety of the children..wtf??

Why is this happening to us!!

My husband is probably fishing somewhere with he'z feet up or moved in with whoever.

We are left to pick up all the pieces. I pay for a councillor to stop me bouncing of the walls.. my sons school has boarded him after 14 years at his special school .now thats support ..what and why are we being treated so badly from the social workers.

I am unemployed but now my youngest has started school. I want to return to work. I am a musician/artist and Accounts technician.

Last meeting held. I was told There were no concerns for my children but they feel they can support us better if they were under child protection. I don't think so. Never in my world would i accept the support of anyone who wants to lable me as a neglectful mother that emotionally abuse her children..cause that's what child protection implies. How Rude!!!

Stick your support!! 

Phonecall received just the day before my hospital appt. "on our next meeting you will know whether the children will be placed on the child protection register or whether further action will be taken".

and to add insult to injury i am not allowed to take my husband back in the future as he wouldn't support them therefore it'll make things bad for me if i did!!

so now my relationship is no longer with my husband to deal with. I am now married to social workers told how to eat sh*t and breathe.

My friends say I need legal help.

Morning Louise, thanx for the tip. I didn't think I could do that, as I thought it was just for domestic violent situations, I have submitted a question.

I believe the way forward is to be supported.  I do feel victimised, hence my outburst.

Mp and solicitors come to mind as i am sick and tired of referalls and intimidation.

my youngest is turning 5 just started school. therefore that's another 11years of harrassment and intimidation i have in front of me. I have already done 7years.

They should know by now, the supportive mother i am. The disabilities and special needs and statements that is within the family gene.  I have recently been accused of giving them their issues. my daughter of 23 is currently being assessed for aspergers as they believe a wrong diagnosis of bipolar may have been given to her when she was younger. She'z a very caring sweet young woman with 2 children. She has support by adult services, but of late 2 strange social workers came to her home in another town, wanting her to admit she had been abused by me when she was younger. she was mortified and put them straight then rang me up in disbelief. She said they have got it in for you mum.

I feel like making my life public as i have no quality of life, just being crusified regulary. A victim again. I don't want that. not for me not for my family. It's killing me. CryFrown don't get me wrong as crushed as i feel, i go back home being mum, like nothing has happend!  it's not for the children and not for my friends.

but for some reason i've had enough. something in me doesn't want to continue to proove anymore. I have nothing to proove, there is nothing underlying. We have learning disabilities, that does not make us. neglectful, abusive individuals. if anything we are very creative and it's going to waste.

Just need help to end this. it's not a wonder i've lost my husband. he's come and gone a few times. he's a quiet man, he does not like troubles. I just wish he had a back bone. I still love him with all my heart, lifes so unfair Cry

Gutted!! unsupported, misunderstood and labled.

Hi Venus666 and welcome from me, I am sorry to read what has been going on for you and how unsupported you are feeling.

I have a couple of suggestions:

You could ring the Family Rights Group advice line on 0808 801 0366.

Join their forums and get advice and support from other parents in your situation and specialist advisors.

Read this advice sheet on Support for Disabled Parents.

This is a difficult time for you, did you say you have not heard from your ex in a while?

Hello Anna I'm very confused about my husband wen we argued he would tell me I could apply for a divorce if I want but he would never divorce me.

I text him about P's development, no reply

I text him to tell him he has rights despite what the social workers say..he text back.. he'll get over me!!

He never texts so I was quite shocked to have got a reply.

Thank you for your suggestions, I will follow them up.

Really appreciate being here! didn't think anyone would approach me. Thanx :)

Hi Venus666, it sounds as though your ex is sending you mixed messages, maybe he is finding all of this as confusing as you are. 

Maybe for the time being, just let him get on with what he is doing and then you can focus on what is in the here and now.

You are most welcome here on the boards, we don't ostracise anyone here, we are glad you have found us.Smile

Now let us know when you have rung the Family Rights Group and what they say.

Fantastic feedback definately relates to my situation. so much info to take in, I will be printing out quite a bit of that for the advocate i'm meeting in a weeks time. In the mean time there i will endeavour to get through to the family rights group tommorrow. It will certainly help me compile something more pro-active for my meeting. This site has given me a new light to carry on. Actually being heard and treated like a person, it's nice. Glad i've done this. Speak soon. Laughing

I spoke to Family Rights Group and was told to have an advocate and seek legal advise to make a complaint. I had so much to say for all the years where they have only come in to intimidate rather than be a support and since my children are child in need due to disabilities, a duty of care should have been put in place years ago. One of my sons was 5 when he was statemented with autism and severe speach and language disorder and a motor delay.  He is now 14, that is a long time with no support and a major knock on effect on my next son who was born 12 years ago. He has Adhd and tourettes syndrome. he'z ticks have really calmed down of late. The Adviser also feels I should get appropriate help counselling me through all the truama and nervous shock the Social Services have left me with following a house fire that they should have supported us with rather than threatening me with future tales that they will take my children of me one day and until that day I will never receive support and they will always be in our lives. they certainly followed their promise through it's been 7 years now!! She even gave me the Samaritans for times when i feel there's no hope. I must've sounded like a nervous wreck. I had a painful lump in my throat by the end and couldn't contain myself. It opened the fload gates of many years of fustration of protecting my self worth so I can continue to mother my children. I believe she's right it has had an adverse effect on me. Cruelty absolute Cruelty!! She believes this is the start of a new path, I hope so.

Venus666

LaughingI'm over the moon with the possitive feed back and suggestions made from this site. Coming here has certainly opened up area's i would've been to nervous to even contemplate.

It's certainly something I could never do alone. definately need representation from an independant body.

The balls rolling now, that's what counts.

Thank you x

I hope you get the help you need Venus. Wow...I cannot imagine the suffering you and your family have had to go through. You certainly sound like a really positive, creative person with so much to offer. And your treatment has been dreadful. I feel for you. I hope this site helps you. Best wishes.

Thank you Laume, unfortunately all this stupidity has left my brain a tad frazzled the last couple of weeks as I have received the core assessment. It's not factual and I have been given a written agreement to sign, I do not agree with the agreement but if i don't sign further action will be taken. I don't feel it's fair that just by a social workers assumptions that she can write up an agreement for her own benefit.

basically she is allowed to walk in and out of my property with and without an appt. when she feels fit.

The other condition is for me to access mental health to receive a label and she has all access to my medical records.

I spoke to the mental health dept. and said by law their policies are to the option of the individual and not being bullied into something it is unlawful, she said she is going to ring childrens and families to remind them of such policies. I am seeing an Advocate to discuss this matter further.

Venus...get all the advice you can. It sounds like you could write a book about this. How about it? Just jot stuff down at first. It could help others.

Have a happy day if you can....best wishes to your children. Not everyone is helpful and people who should be can be abusive. Look to those who WILL help and DO care. A lot of folks on this site have been traumatised by the very people who are paid to assist...shame on them! Best wishes to you.

Hi again Venus66, I was wondering if there is an option on the assessment to write something very brief next to your signature saying that you do not agree with it but are signing as you have been told further action will be taken if you don't?
