Hi all,
Name changed for this but not 100% sure which topic its best suited. Apologies if its long, i just dont want to drip feed but my main question is do i go low contact, no contact or is there an inbetween, with my family members?
I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant and am already working with the pre birthing team due to being a care leaver, previous DV and my MH history. So far from my CIN meeting last week, concerns are low and SS are happy with engagement, progress etc. As it stands they have no plans to remove baby or put a CPP in place. The reason for me posting is, I have some concerns regarding my family being a risk and am really worried that they may impact any plans or decisions that are yet to be made.
For context, my GP are my main, if only support network outside of professionals. DB is a drug addict, in and out of prison and at times violent. He constantly harasses GP for food & money and will never take no for an answer. DU is also a drug addict, and again harrasses GP for money, however he isnt violent or pushy. They both are bleeding my GM of her pension, stealing items from the house (money, tobacco, bank cards) and selling any possessions they can get their hands on.
Whilst my GP are both affected, my GM response is where my concern and upset lies. Unfortunately she entertains them, says no but 2 minutes later secretly hands over whatever they have asked for, refuses to call the police or do anything about it and continues to let them access the house. Mainly because her view is family is family. My GD on the otherhand is stubborn, holds a grudge, will (rightly or wrongly) confront and protect, but also call the police.
AIU to consider going low to no contact with my only support? Or is there any inbetween?
