Ok where do I start? Beginning would be good, at the start of last month (July) I was told by my ex that he and his mum were keeping my baby daughter (she was staying at his mums while I went to a birthday party) I got her back after a few days then 2 days later got a citation saying that he wanted residency of her. It said some pretty nasty and horrible things about me, drinking, taking drugs, neglecting her health, basically made me look like the mother from hell. Everything they said was false, and after consulting a solicitor I got defences written and we went to court. We had written statements from a few people involved with the family stating they thought I was a good mum and hadn't witnessed any neglect, however the judge granted him temporary custody of my daughter for 6 weeks till the social work and childrens reporter does a report. I get to see her 4 days a week however this has to be at his mums house with them present, which as you can imagine is horrible. I am beside myself with worry that since the judge has granted him temporary access that she will give him permenant access when we go back to court.I also have an older daughter who my ex foster mother is going for custody of, stating that once again I am an incompetant mum. I hate the thought that my babies will be split up, they love each other so much! I love them so much! Thinking about them being split up and only having contact once or twice a week breaks my heart. I have had the support of the SS throughout all this though, they have said the boss will be writing a report of his own to send to the court, the school is very happy with my eldest and the health visitor has no concerns. My family, friends and I are all crossing our fingers that everything will turn out ok, however I am seriously concerned that because there is now a second citation that is going to reflect badly on the first one and vice versa. Any advice on all this? I'm at my wits end!
