This is a complicated story, but I'm getting divorced from a man who abused me physically and emotionally for 10 years. He used to knock me out all the time etc.
I've left and I'm living with our 9 year old son who is autistic and has tried several times to take his life.
My son hasn't seen his dad for nearly 3 years due to the abuse, I'm currently going through the courts. My son has a social worker as we are on a child in need plan, so my boy is very vulnerable.
It was my boys birthdays last week and not one of my ex husbands family bothered to send a card etc. This left my son very upset and he thinks everyone hates him.
I sent a message to ex mil and said you only live down the road, why have you not sent a card? My boy is crying and self harming etc. She stated she had sent it to the wrong address, despite the fact we live 5 mins away. I asked if she could ring royal mail in help with getting the mail back.
Her daughter sent me this message and I'm fuming...what do I do?
It’s now time to leave my mum alone and stop contacting her, failure to comply with this request will leave me more formal options to precede with. There is a solicitor appointed for [[NAME REMOVED] which contact can be coordinated via at this time.
If you truly knew and understood the state of the country right now then you wouldn’t ask my mum to continue her efforts to locating REMOVED card. My parents are now in isolation for likely, the next 6 months. It’s my role to feed them and ensure that no one leads or encourages them to step foot into society.
I sympathise with REMOVED situation, it must be very difficult. My own friends work with autistic adults and their daily talk of their own situations and now increased daily challenges this virus complexity brings is truly awful.
When I get the opportunity, hopefully today, when I can escape the numerous government and army command meetings I’ll get another card over from my mum. Not ideal for REMOVED but some impact limitation to his feelings.
Now I ask you again to leave my mum alone, no contact needed from you to her. Should either my parents fall ill or should I find they have put themselves in harms way for anything but medical care then the consequences of having no parents and no future with them in it would be horrific for all.
I trust you will do the right thing for this period of uncertainty to our lives. If REMOVED needs anything in the near future let me know and I’ll do my best. I’ve a voucher for REMOVED for the entertainer, when we are through the worst and limitations to essential travel are over I’ll take him to get something exciting. And I’ve a new little dog called Frank who he might like to meet.
Be safe.
