So I'm starting a new thread following on from 0I don't know what to do" as we're almost full.
Blimey! How did that happen!

Seems lots of you are rather ruddy marvellous and want to keep going on this journey with me so I'm opening a new chapter.
Will be back with a proper update later 💐

@OnTheRise no he lives three hours away now.
That money grabber hasn’t been back but I think we will get something from him

I’m going to push for an adjournment who has to go to Family court with a four week old baby. It’s gross and inhumane. He fucked up so he should be made to wait as far as I’m concerned. We will see though.

It seems bizarre to me that anyone with such a small baby would be expected to go to court. But then your ex's behaviour has been bizarre and wrong all the way through. If he had any sort of compassion for his children he wouldn't be putting you through any of this. I have lost count of the number of times I've been gobsmacked while reading through your threads.

It's somewhat encouraging to know the Finger Man probably isn't anything to do with your ex. In which case, wait him out; find out what the law is with regard to this, if you can; and don't admit to or offer anything. If you have a friend who can foster your dog for a while that might be helpful. But I really can't see how someone can complain that he got bitten when shoving his hand through a letter box!

Seeing my GP this morning to try to get a letter for an adjournment. Fingers crossed as I can’t face going back to Court again so soon after having a baby. It seems unreal to me

Fx for you lolli. It's so shit that no one seems to be considering you will only be 4 weeks post-partum.

lollipop7 · 24/11/2017 10:46

Got my GP letter, he's stating he is of the opinion that at 3wks and six days postpartum I am not fit for a stressful court hearing.
🤞🏻
But hoping against hope I fear 😓

Good news on the dog front.
The bastard reported it to the police but they're not taking any action against her or criminal action against me. They were pleased we've bought a letter box guard and they went on their way.

I'm so bloody relieved, we love her to bits😊

Fab news! Fingers crossed the GP letter works too. Have a wonderful weekend 😊

Slingsanderrors · 24/11/2017 17:28

Excellent news about the dog lollipop, I’m so pleased for you, that’s one thing less to worry about. Gin

Great news about the dog, and the supportive gp!

See Lolli sometimes there is a bit of sunshine in a very stressful day.
Really glad you have your little dog sorted.

Mustang27 · 24/11/2017 19:59

So pleased on the dog front I hope you tell him his services are no longer bloody required either.

I hope they listen to your dr.

iknowimcoming · 24/11/2017 20:05

So pleased about lollidog and fingers crossed the GP letter works xxx

Ellie56 · 25/11/2017 00:21

Yay for lollidog!

OnTheRise · 25/11/2017 08:11

That's such good news, Lollipop! I am so pleased. Now let's hope everything else starts falling into place for you.

MrsBertBibby · 25/11/2017 08:44

Good news about the dog.

As far as the adjournment goes, I really hope you get it, but do bear in mind that Family court judges often have to have hearings within hours of birth, never mind weeks, so they can be pretty rough. This to a judge far more manageable than something like a finding of Fact, as it is shorter, there's no evidence being given, and so on. If the Court can set you up a video link then you can be able to observe whilst feeding with some privacy, and be able to give instructions.

lollipop7 · 25/11/2017 10:54

Thanks everyone. I think she knows she's had a narrow squeak and is very chastened!

I am not holding out hope for the adjournment. Nothing really goes my way with this judge. I'm not entirely sure what the hearing is about
It states it for half an hour to narrow discussions and to agree the progress on the case. I'm dreading it tbh and have no idea what awaits me. Something hideous no doubt.

Here's hoping my new solicitor can show him for what he is and is willing to shove all the breaches under the judge's nose. I still don't understand how someone being interviewed for almost four hours across five complaints and awaiting whether it goes to CPS means I can't rely on the PD12 j but it seems not.
I have started bleeding really heavily again overnight it's awful. I just never get a week without something awful to contend with.

Is there anything you can't do!?
You're almost free of this man so you can live your life. Wishing all of you the best !

Ellendegeneres · 26/11/2017 18:41

Just dropping by to see how your day has been, thinking of you, little lollipops, baby c and lollipup

lollipop7 · 27/11/2017 23:58

I’m ok thanks 😊
We’re all ok. Things quite calm at the moment.

Seeing my new solicitor tomorrow so shall see where we go from there.
It’s common knowledge amongst her former work colleagues he’s taken Paternity Leave which is apparently a huge source of incredulity with those that know as well as derision. Not heard for. His current employer so tomorrow shall be contacting them to ascertain exactly how my maternity notes have been used in such a manner without my written consent and moreover his concealment. If he isn’t fired I shall be duly informing HMRC. I want that fucker sacked so he has to sell his house and has nowhere to ever speculate that he’d take my children to. Nd the caution gets lodged tomorrow so in order to sell it he’ll have to pay me off with half the almost £75k of equity in t he’s agreed in writing. Enough to tide me over until I’m ready to go back, to work.

I’m trying to think more confidently and craftily now. The fear has to turn into something else.
After all ima, the only person standing between him and my beautiful precious children.

Hope everyone is well. I hope to have a fighting talk style of update following my solicitor appointment tomorrow too.
