Unfortunately not he got declared medically unfit when his records were requested as he had a mild bleeding disorder von willebrands that excludes him every, he was devastated however he's looking at other options and at the moment is working for dad labouring (DH is an electrical engineer) he would have liked to have been taken on as an apprentice but unfortunately didn't her the grades.

Things with my daughter where very difficult. She has an ambivilant attachment disorder and last year was very difficult. She is in. PRU due to her inability to cope in mainstream. She was going missing all the time, saying out god knows where was violent and verbally to me constantly. While I was pregnant she ended up in respite foster care as she wouldn't come home because she knew we were taking her phone (inappropriate interactions in social media with men trying to groom her). We saw hee regularly and she saw baby the day he was born. She's changed, she loves Sam so much and wants to be a good role model to him. We rarely have kick offs at home anymore and if things are getting difficult we have access to 75 days of respite with the carer she was with last year which can be used in an emergency who she has a very good relationship with.

Everyone who said he was meant to be here at this time was right. I think he was sent he save her. Her behaviour was so dangerous that she could have ended up in a really situation.

So things are good I have my daughter back our relationship have improved drastically as she can see I am a good mum to him and this has helped her get over her fear of attachment as she believes all adults leave eventually. Plus I have a little helper when I need to get stuff done!
