Do people respect you more for saying it how it is ?

I kind of feel i've nothing to lose with my family anyway, I only speak to my half brother, not my dad's child, no contact with mother - quite a strained relationship with my dad and his wife, step sister if it suits her. Some quite serious crap has gone down with my kids, I need support, asked for it via the only medium I have PM on face book and the message was read 24 hours ago and they've all ignored it completely. My not even asking much, just lost their numbers, my phone died, I need their new numbers to pass to my eldest child so she has an adult near by in case of an emergency - I'm not nearby atm - and I offered to send money so they could take my kids to lunch and check they are ok ? Is that a lot to ask of your brother - single no kids - or your dad ? Genuine question ?
Thanks

There isn't anyone else, this is it

The non responses as frustrating and disappointing as they were, weren't totally unexpected. They aren't the type op people to rely on, so move on.

Personally, I would have called 101 and asked for their advice and to see if they would check on your children. Yes SS might get involved but your Ex would have to deal with it as the consequences of his behaviour.

I have no support, no family and Ex has terminated contact with DD, you do yourself no favours by having expectations of others than will never be reciprocated. They are who they are.

If that is the case and their dad is due back today i would try not to worry too much.

If your eldest has broken their toe there's not a lot they can do. Tell them to get sat in front of telly with their feet up and keep on top of painkillers.

Does your youngest suffer with panic attacks or is this a new thing? I know people quite often say they have had a panic attack but it's not particularly serious,could that be the case?

I'm just trying to stop you worrying. Maybe write on one if your family members walls and they will respond because people can see it iykwim.

I didn't find out until 24 hours after the event. Have told ex ne t tome it'll be a phone call to the police, he doesn't care apparently and he has to be caught in the act so to speak for anything to be done. At least there is a record of the eldests injury

I'm working very hard to get them with me, not helped by HIM on the one hand signing the papers required to get them visas so not against the idea but telling them they have a choice in the matter, hence they choose to stay with their friends of course, however that's wearing pretty thin already so I'm already getting ready to book their flights and budge up !

He won't stop it,. He's been the resident parent for 4 weeks and would struggle to prove he was tbh so that's not relevant.
No not chance of summer, we are looking at Christmas at the earliest.
