XP has contact once a month for 3 hours which is to be supervised at all times by a relative who is a very well trained foster carer.
today the contact session was also to be supervised by the court apointed social worker.
the session should start at 11. i arrived a couple of minutes before and waited in teh car.
got to 10 past and i still couldn't see his relatives car (they come down together) so i text to ask if he could confirm he was on his way.
couple of moments later i spotted him, alone.
i got out of the car and asked where XX was. he said she wasn't coming as it was to be supervised by the ISW.
i said that this was not my understanding but that if this was the case where was she.
he said she had called him to say she was waiting for a cabn at the train station.
i was angry at this as i thought that if she was the only one to supervise surely she should have been professional enough to get there on time!
when she arrived at 11;35!!!!! i asked her if she knew shewas to be the only superviser...she gave me a very harrassed look and said no she wasn't and that she herself was angry.
she produced a letter (similar to teh one i had been sent) outlining the plan which was that contact would happen as normal with xx supervising and the ISW woudl supervise them both.
she would use it as a chance to speak with XX about how she felt contact had happened so far.
Basicly xp has taken it upom himself to leave his relative at home, despite this being in contrast to the courts orders.
it also meant that i was left alone with him for more than half an hour!
i was shaking by the time she arrived and just wanted to go home and cry.
i am now just reallty bloody angry about it all.
