New Update-steph and charlie are back home p39

[jjk]

 

[Netty]

I can't believe how his family don't seem too concerned about this and haven't thought about calling you at any point just to say that they are safe and well and whilst they have been staying with them they been looked after.
I hope you all get the support you need as a family to overcome this traumatic and upsetting time

the s worker told me that his mum said she will see that no harm will come to them...thats impossible! she's not with them 24 hrs a day.
I havent had any contact with steph, her mobiles are on voicemail and she texts me from a bt payphone.latest text last night said she will be here this morning.
in reality, she is being forced back to wales because she has been threatened with child protection. not because she wants to have a better life with Charlie..
anyway, to try and get some normality back into our lives me and nat-dd17 are off to cheshire oaks today for some retail therapy and more importantly some time together. she is 18 next week so we are going to look for that special dress!
thansk for your thoughts and wishes, your right she needs to stand opn her own 2 feet and wake up one day and smell the coffee for herself.
sorry to put this on the forum, i have no one else who is not family and emotionally involved to talk to

Grief, don't apologise, I think that the care and concern that people have on here for each other is one of the things that makes it such a special place

You have done all you can at the moment so have a great shopping trip with Nat and treat yourself too - you deserve it.

so sorry it has come to this Netty, I hope you can take some somfort in the fact that its out of your hands and that theres nothing you could have done. Unfortunately Steph has got herself into a very bad cycle, hopefully social services will help her see that she can get through this and be a better mum to Charlie.

 

[higgy66]

So sorry to hear about the update - as everyone as said at least SS are helping.

I hope everything gets sorted soon but in the meantime sending you lots of and I hope you have a lovely day with your younger daughter.

I wish you had better news - I hope you manage to take your mind off it and focus on your other DD, even if it's only for a while

Sending you big

Even though things take time, dont give up hope that this will sort itself out.
But I think you are doing the right thing in getting on with your life, and a day out with No2 DD is just the way to go!
We all ned quality time with our mums, especially when the family is going through a rough patch.

Wishing you all the best.


Katie

I am sorry it still has not worked out for you and your family

and I hope you DD17 can have a good bday next week and hope she found a lovely dress

 

[Trilli-magic]

Netty this wasn't the news you all expected to hear but it is positive news that Social Services are dealing with this case in the way that they are - that Charlie is their, as is yours, number 1 priority.
I can't believe how his family don't seem too concerned about this and haven't thought about calling you at any point just to say that they are safe and well and whilst they have been staying with them they been looked after.
I hope you all get the support you need as a family to overcome this traumatic and upsetting time

This.

I'm sorry you are your family are going through this

 

[wideeyes]

I hope things work out okay in the end,

 

[jns]

Hope you have a nice day out with your DD and remeber to treat yourself too

 

[CarolynU]

Jeanette this was not the news that you wanted to hear, and you have my deepest sympathies. Such a worry for you when all you are trying to do is to protect Charlie and his future. As you say you have another DD to consider, and good on you for focussing on her too. I hope that you had a great day together.

Steph and Charlie turned up here last night, too late for me to deal with it. They stayed the night, and after work I went to our social services to fill them in as to what was going on, hopefully they should liase with manchester on this now.
when i got home she wasnt in so i phoned her mobile and told her to go straight to housing and declare herself homeless. she didn't- she came straight back here in floods of tears and tried to tell me whats been going on in her own special way of not blaming herself.. and that he has some sort of a hold on her she can't make the break, she needs companionship and feels so alone.. yes i understand all this, but to put herself before the baby is so selfish. i have gone to town on her- nothing was left unsaid.i am so mad that she could do this and put everything before her child. im still furious now.
she has said she needs help and is going to the doctors to ask for help. the house she wanted has now gone but the builder said she can have the next one and it will be ready in 2 weeks, so she will have to save for the rent advancement if she wants the house, we are not helping her with that.

when Charlie saw us he was so excited and happy he held out his arms and kept hugging! that was so lovely but also so overwhelming. I think he knew he was now back safe, sounds silly i know, but his reaction to us said it all.
thankyou for your listening ears! and your kind words
