to be angry about the headmaster's comments about my love life and officially challenge them?

Very long story but basically we are having some SS involvement at the moment due to issues surrounding exH, we split last year and he moved away so thus far I have been trying to rectify the issues mostly by myself.

I am having monthly meetings to discuss the issues with the SW and the headmaster of the school and he keeps making comments that I feel are inappropriate and irrelevant to what we are there to discuss and it makes me very uncomfortable.

I know why they might feel me being in a new relationship could be of concern but they had done all the relevant checks and there was no reason for them to worry but the headmaster keeps bringing it up! For example he has said things like:

'My staff noticed you had a love bite on your neck on xxx date'
'Your appearance on xxx date was dishevelled (implying that I had been having sex)'
'In my opinion xxx is more than a friend (this was after he questioned me about my relationship with someone who did go on to become my boyfriend but at the time was an ex work colleague and friend who was supporting me through my break up with my ex' - he was obviously saying that he didn't believe that we were just friends
'I'm concerned about how you meet new partners'

Obviously there were more comments like this and I can't remember them all, but the things he says to me just really don't seem pertinent to what we are discussing. I don't really know how to respond to him in the meetings in a way that is calm and measured rather than angry and defensive - I am getting more and more wound up about it because as far as I'm concerned it is none of his business!

He has also made a habit of being overly harsh and nasty to me in these meetings and on several occasions has made me cry with his comments but he will never do it if I have someone with me in the meetings, only when I am alone.

AIBU? Should I just accept that his invasive and personal questions are just par for the course when SS are involved or should I complain as I am really getting sick of it :(

Oh, what you mean I did something wrong? Really? And now I need to do stuff to fix it? Seriously? Oh, I would never have guessed that if you hadn't just pointed that out to me , thanks for the helpful advice :D I really thought everything would just fix itself but now you've said that I guess I'll sort it out!

Whatever another, I know exactly what they want me to do but you go on believing I'm an idiot if you really want, I really don't care :)

Oh, by the way, thanks for providing yet another (hehe) example of people needlessly kicking others when they are down :D

when you left him you had no involvement from SS? So how come you only left him after SS called you about the neglect of your children?
Come on OP, look at the big picture. You feel got at on here, youre angry at the HT, you think the school nurse hates you, you also hate the HV, you're mad at multiple landlords, all of your ex friends and family, exhusband,,ex boyfriends.....and have extensive ongoing multiple agency intervention in your family..
Do you not think that just maybe you are causing some of these problems? I'm sorry you have a difficult life at the moment, it sounds chaotic and hard. But it sounds like its time to accept reality and stop complaining about the whole world getting at you. Its not them. It's you. Take control and try and change the pattern.

extremepie · 03/09/2014 19:29

And yet you felt the need to be bitchy anyway? Thanks for that :D

OP posts:
extremepie · 03/09/2014 19:31

Hang on, what are you talking about? I don't even have a HV!

OP posts:
Chippednailvarnish · 03/09/2014 19:31

It's very telling that very few of your posts have actually been about your DCs.

Sad.

grocklebox · 03/09/2014 19:32

didn't you post previously about your HV? You have a distinctive style but perhaps I'm wrong.
BUT thats what you choose about my post? Wow.

extremepie · 03/09/2014 19:35

No, I haven't had a HV for years, some of the other stuff just didn't make sense and I ignored all the crap :D

OP posts:
extremepie · 03/09/2014 19:37

Chipped, so every single one of your posts are about your dc's? No, not sad thanks :D

What would you like me to say about them? Especially given you think I say too much anyway? Can't win either way

OP posts:
Dinosaurporn · 03/09/2014 19:38

You posted about a HV who didn't like you and said she didn't think leaving your DC's with your then DH was a good idea due to his MH problems.

And fuck me she was right.

extremepie · 03/09/2014 19:39

Wow that was years ago, guess the SW and HT aren't the only ones who bring up everyone's ancient history not to mention creepy MN stalking

OP posts:
extremepie · 03/09/2014 19:41

He didn't have any MH issues he was just a lazy arsehole, obviously I figured that out too late but I guess being perfect and all you've never ever made a mistake

OP posts:
grocklebox · 03/09/2014 19:42

It didn't make sense?Which bit confuses you? I guess I was too polite, what I really meant was stop obsessing about yourself and your interactions with others, and do whatever you need to for your children before ss take them away.

YetAnotherHelenMumsnet · 03/09/2014 19:42

Evening all, may we remind you of the MN Talk Guidelines?

Caterpillarmum · 03/09/2014 19:44

I've read your thread and I can't believe how you keep putting flippant little come backs and little smilie face things when talking about such serious stuff. You seem to be very hostile and almost antagonistic in your responses and constantly missing the point.

What about your kids in all this? children are the most important issue in all this, hurt feelings are very very secondary. But I guess that will be ignored again as you seem to just want to feel sorry for yourself. Very sad.

extremepie · 03/09/2014 19:46

Err that is what I'm doing grockle?

OP posts:
grocklebox · 03/09/2014 19:47

doesn't sound like it, not remotely.

Dinosaurporn · 03/09/2014 19:48

Well CP aren't meeting to ensure I'm not neglecting my children, so I'm clearly absolutely perfect!

There's nothing creepy about checking what's previously been posted, especially when you suspect the Op is just saying whatever they can to deflect the attention away from the fact they keep making massively bad decisions that affect their DCs. Not your ex, the HT, the school nurse, your ex Bf, just you.

I'll leave you to fight the world OP and maybe hopefully you'll realise your attitude is probably the biggest thing that might actually land your DC's in care.

extremepie · 03/09/2014 19:49

Oh I'm sorry caterpillar, should I consult you on how I deal with things?

Right now that is the only way I can keep from breaking down and crying in front of my dc's, which I don't want to do. So that's why, doesn't mean I don't understand or take things seriously, which you would know if you knew me, but you dont

OP posts:
Chippednailvarnish · 03/09/2014 19:52

Then go to your GP.

Anotherchapter · 03/09/2014 19:52

op there are holes all over this thread. I think you would get a bit more sympathy if you were a bit more humble and admitted your own part in this. Yet your not. Your flying back at posters with a :D and tbh is inappropriate.

It does seem your not taking this seriously.

I'm leaving this thread now as I don't think you really want advice. Your in the right - everybody else is in the wrong. Including people that could possibly take your children away.

Good luck.

extremepie · 03/09/2014 19:53

Well obviously dinosaur, have fun revelling in your absolute perfection and just hope that you never have something awful happen to you that makes your halo slip!

Well grockle, I guess you just haven't been listening or just aren't interested and are more intent than having a go

OP posts:
mamalino · 03/09/2014 19:53

I don't even know why I'm bothering to post this, but if I was you OP I would step away from this thread as it's not going to you any good and are being too defensive to take anything on board.

Read it tomorrow and perhaps on proper reflection you will see the points that multiple people are making about YOUR OWN behaviour and attitude are valid.

No doubt you will tell me to fuck off again though eh.

extremepie · 03/09/2014 19:54

Chipped, I've said it about 5 fucking times but I'll say it one more - I AM GOING TO MY GP NEXT WEEK WHEN THE DC's GO BACK TO SCHOOL

OP posts:
grocklebox · 03/09/2014 19:55

No I have, I've paid attention to how its all everyone elses fault and you're completely fine and on top of everything and everyone is just against you. You're not interested in anyones opinion but your own.
Good luck with all that.

extremepie · 03/09/2014 19:55

I have admitted that I am partly at fault, go back and actually read it and you will see :D
