Hi everyone.
We are expecting our initial home visit soon and I'm a little worried about how much detail to go into when asked about our family. My DH has had a bit of a rocky relationship with his father throughout his childhood and adulthood and he is a very difficult character to get on with. I don't really see him much, but DH does keep things amicable. - his parents are both still together and we do have a good relationship with his mum.
Will SW want to speak to/meet/seek references from all 4 prospective grandparents? Will we need to go into details about the strained relationship or can we just say that we aren't close? I don't want it to go against us that our potential child may not see his granddad that often. As an aside, I am super close to my parents.
I wonder how much involvement our extended families will have in the entire process from the SW side of things?
