Your story reminds me a lot of an article I read about a South Korean film director who was kidnapped by the previous North Korean regime whilst on holiday in Hong Kong. He was chucked into a labour camp when he tried to escape, and then after a few years, released and basically forced to produce films in North Korea to "glorify" the nation.

At a film premier in Vienna, this chap managed to leg it to the American embassy, and was given political asylum.

Kim Jong II was absolutely convinced that this director had been kidnapped by the Americans, and was being forced to say bad things about him.

In this analogy, you would be Kim Jong II by the way. I point this out because it seems like you might have an ability to ignore blazingly obvious issues if they are inconvenient to you.


So basically, yes, perhaps the world is against you, but you sound like a man very deeply, deeply in denial about what is going on. I used to work with social services (with, not for), and they sure as fuck didn't have the time or resources to harass families for the fun of it. There was a reason that your partner and child were removed from you and put into a protected location! Do you honestly think that's standard procedure??? Do you really think the police and social services do that to every single domestic argument call they get?

The answer is no by the way.


Also, abused women have a tendency to "return to the vomit" (if you will) because it's all they know - their self esteem has been completely shattered by their partner. It's like a moth to the flame.

For the good of humanity I suggest you take a long, hard look in the mirror and think about how you have been behaving. If everyone else is looking at something and calling it "blue", and you are the only one insisting that it's "red".....

It's most probably not red.

He is adamant he did nothing wrong. All everybody else's fault.

Get a job.

Pay child support.

Turn up to all contact centre visits.

Work towards unsupervised contact.

Never under any circumstances harass/text/email/phone the mother of your child.

Comply with everything SS tell you to do.

Be a good father and take some parenting courses.

Do all of the above and hopefully you will be able to be the father your child needs.

I had to put down my phone and pick up the lap top to respond properly.

My x denied that he ever hit me because he doesn't realise that he did. I guess it depends on your definition of hit. He 'just' pushed me a bit to begin with, then he pushed me a bit harder, and then the pushing came with a finger in my face, and a raised voice, then a rougher push, the finger closer to my face, the teeth bared in anger, the voice raised so loud the villae in my inner ear vibrated as he roared at me.

He denies 'hitting' me though. Because hitting is when you take a punch at somebody, like boxing.

If your girlfriend returned to you I wonder why that is. Maybe she has nowhere to go and no money when she gets there.

Why have you been happy to live in your home, while your girlfriend and baby has been moved here and there to keep safe? Why are you happy for them to be virtually homeless?

Why have you never volunteered to leave the home so that mother and baby have a safe home to live in?

turnaroundbrighteyes · 08/07/2014 14:45

No matter whether you think they are right or wrong if you think you can take on SS you are wrong. You will lose.

So you have a decision to make. Is your baby the most important person in the world to you and are you prepared to open both ears, listen to SS and do anything they ask of you? Because that's the only way to get through this.....

Well, if things are so bad between you that she picked up a knife and tried to stab you then please accept that it's a relationship that isn't right and shouldn't continue. whether or not your xgf sent you texts saying that she wanted to return or not is not the point. YOur home life sounds like it was hell on earth and your child is better away from it. Hopefully your gf will flourish away from you.

Please support the social services.

You still need to do everything I said in my post. So instead of blaming anyone you still need to do the list.

Do the list. Don't bother blaming. You have responsibilities.

DioneTheDiabolist · 08/07/2014 15:20

Stop communicating with your girlfriend/ex.
Let SS know when she contacts you and call the police if she turns up at your house.
Ask SS what you need to do to be in your child's life, then do it.

There are no shortcuts here OP, the shit has hit the fan and if you ever want to be a part of your child's life, you are going to have to be a very good boy and do exactly what SS tell you to do. No excuses, no blaming your girlfriend, her mum, your dad, SS or anyone else.

If you are going through the Family court process you are entitled to legal aid for a solicitor. So get one. The fact you say you can't afford one makes me doubt everything else you say.

I am a foster carer, and the most damaged children I work with are those that have grown up with domestic violence. They do not see the difference between power and love ( not all, but most). This can wreck their own relationships. Most a users are dismissive of their own role too. If you are the innocent party you should not have met your partner secretly, but should have informed the SW

If you are truly innocent, you should work with the system. It's not perfect but I can honestly say that I have never been involved with a case where social services have removed a child wrongly. They don't have vendettas against families, they are over stretched as it is.

Trust me when I say that you need to cut off contact from your ex for the sake of your baby. It doesn't matter who did what, who said what and what your MIL thinks. Your relationship was volatile and unhealthy for your son to witness.

If you want to be involved in your DS's life then you need to comply with all classes, recommendations and meetings social services suggest and arrange. Do not contact your ex and tell social services whenever she contacts you.

If your ex continues to try to involve herself with you there is a very good chance social services will look at having him removed from her care as she is failing to safeguard him.

Seriously, it's not about the two of you anymore. You need to concentrate on what is best for your DS.

Is she still living in mother and baby unit? Doyou know if it's the sort of unit where she will get the support she needs and the baby is safe?

Do you still have supervised contact with your DS?

Namechangearooie and Dione's advice on the steps you need to take is good.

If what you say is true FamilyJustice then your girlfriend is not fit to be bringing up this child either. If she is attacking you with a knife and trying to kill herself then this child is in danger.

DioneTheDiabolist · 08/07/2014 15:43

You have not done everything on my list.
You have responded to your GF's communications.
You haven't called the police when she turned up. Instead you took her in, then saw her every day "in secret" when you knew it was forbidden.
You are blaming your GF, her mum and SS for this mess.

Stop it. Also don't "say" you will go on courses or to Counselling, just do it. If your GF and her mum are as bad as you say, take out a Non Molestation Order against them and PHONE THE POLICE if they break it. What do you work at OP?

Gelati, legal aid finished.

OP, you need to stay away from the Mother of your child, do not answer her texts, do not open the door to her.

Next book yourself on some parenting courses, some counselling, contact the CSA and start paying, get your life on track and show SS that you want to give your child some contact with it's father.
