Social services

[MySonIsMyWorld]

A while ago me and my dp had a little row which resulted in my dp picking me up and dropping me on my head (sounds worse than it was) i ended up going to hospital to get check at 2am with my mum and ds - I made a police report because thats why i was advised to do my hospital and they automatically had to inform social services ANYWAY had a few meetings with social services and they buggered off - my question is - have you ever had any involvement with social services? And i carnt help think that im a bad mum for having to have social services involved? I feel like they wanted to take my baby away from me

I'd agree with Maryz, how often do this worse than it sounds accidents happen and is your ds ok.

Having SS involvement doesn't mean you're a bad mum, they're there to help people who may need it and by the sounds of it they have assessed you and your family and made a decision as to your capability.

Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it.

I'd also be more worried about a 'little row' where you ended up being assaulted.

I think i remember you posting at the time that you were messing around and you hit your head?

Your not a bad mum as long as your ensuring the safety of your child and yourself.

no dp doesnt do stuff like this normally - yes lola88 thats me ! i just feel shit because ss got involved

We've had SS involvement due to dd's poor school attendance- genuine health reasons, whatever the HT may have thought- and SS were quite satisfied, but made good suggestions about possible support for the family and helped to get dd more treatment. No hint that anyone was going to take anyone away.

Yeah they didnt say they were going to take my son away at all and infact actually told my dp that they were not concerned about DS in the slighest it was us they were concerned about! x

To be fair to SS, you turned up at a+e with a suspected head injury caused by your dp.

Unless your ds is at risk then they won't take him away

Im glad in a way that they did come and pester to check i was ok - means there doing there job i could be some scared battered SAHM too scared to say anything! I just feel rubbish that they got involved etc
