Morning ladies, right an update. Have had a letter of apology from CS saying that their intention wasn't to cause distress (I suspect a generic letter was sent out, however, this is not acceptable under the circumstances). Records have been updated to reflect my comments and the facts. I also had an hour long Cafcass interfiew yesterday. The lady was very good, listened to me and my concerns and indeed asked what I was hoping to achieve from this process. I have basically said that I think it is vital that following the directions hearing we have intervention and investigation from professional services in order that we can find some common ground and find a way to forward in order to co-parent DS effectively. She listened to my concerns about OW and asked questions about her situation and indeed a lot of questions about Mr WT. He will also be interviewed prior to the hearing (next Thursday) and I am hopeful that this will be step in the right direction. Frankly, the fact that they both have to now accept that I am willing to do what is necessary for the sake of DS will send them into a spin I think. They don't WANT to do the right thing, they just want what they want and that's it. It isn't going to go that way. Reality check I think.
Further, had a statementing appointment with DS yesterday. It looks as if we will finally get a full diagnosis next month when he sees a specialist. There is no doubt he is on spectrum, to what extent I don't yet know. Mr WT will have to accept this now and stop bad mouthing me and making me look like some lunatic mother. OW will also have to wake up and smell the coffee. Idiots. All totally avoidable and unnecessary.
Across - thank you for your post my darling, karma is indeed at work!
