My ex husband would never talk about his childhood saying it was boring, cant remember much of it etc etc and changed the subject however I knew he grew up in care from about 1973. From the few things that have been said his stepfather abused him ( neglect and physically not sexually)until the police and social services got involved and he was removed to care but oddly not his sister who seemed to have been treated ok by them. his parents seem very secretive people, I know lie about various things to do with family. My children love their grandparents and although are able to make their own way there ( early teens) my son has adhd which his grandfather doesn't believe in and insists hes naughty and nothing a good smack wouldn't sort out!! I know he wouldn't dare but is there any further information I could access ie regarding court proceedings if any just to rest my mind even after all this time.
