I have a court hearing at the end of October where I’m praying for contact to be re-started. The whole social services system should really be ashamed of themselves, from the Home Secretary down for being part of a system, and allowing a system to continue, that treats loving fathers who’ve done nothing to break up the family in the first place, no different from the worst kind of criminal.
I wish all fathers in a similar position to me all the luck in the world, and hope justice is done, for all your children’s sake. They need their fathers in the their lives more then ever if there is an unstable or vindictive mother involved. They need the stabilty of their father to show them “normal” life, not the twisted “self, self, self” world in which a lot of these clinically depressed women live in. Good luck to you all…
]]>The last time I saw my son was nearly a month ago. Apparently being curt with someone is now abusive behaviour, so during hand over when I was holding my son she snapped and pulled him out of my arms so hard it hurt him, he was screaming out for me as she disappeared down an isle in the supermarket, all I can remember is the way he was screaming out for daddy with his arms out stretched for me, I let it go because I didn’t want to make it any worse for him. My ex was very depressed and wasn’t really involved properly for the first year of our sons life, it was me who was the primary carer. I didn’t want social services involved at that point as I know how useless they were when I was a kid (no change there un-surprisingly).
This story goes on and on but the point is that if this has happened to me, it has happened else where and I know that the system is supporting women who are unwell to damage their children. The social worker I had been dealing with recently didn’t understand how this is child abuse. No support is available for me and I believe going to court will settle nothing until things change.
