Ss referral family member

[Itsacatlife]

NC for obvious reasons.

My family member has made a disclosure of emotional abuse to a healthcare professional. They have now made a referral to SS as my family member has children. They have also had previous referrals for unrelated things.

I'm wondering what is likely to happen? Will they be made to split? If anyone has any experience to share that would be good. Also how can I best support my family member and the children?

I'm worried and I know they are extremely stressed out.

Thanks.

Why wouldn't your family member want to leave? It's not a healthy environment for children to live in. It seems Social Services are going to be visiting the family to see how it's affecting the children. If there have been previous referrals then there will be red flags and they will obviously be concerned for the welfare of the children. Of course the emotional abuser will find out or at least suspect the other party has confided in someone official and it could potentially increase the EA. Your family member might need somewhere to stay with the children are you able to offer that? Hopefully this might give the push they need to finally leave this abusive relationship. I would ask them to get in touch with women's aid or similar organisation to put some plans in place. Either way they need to be prepared to leave, because if SS believe the children are suffering then will certainly recommend leaving the relationship. Fingers crossed it all works out.

She shouldn't need to be made to split. She needs to split, if she doesn't that will make things worse for her.

It's hard to say what they will do, depends what's been happening but it must be bad if she's spoken out. Best thing she can do is walk away.

Does the family member want to stay in the relationship where abuse is happening?

If this is one of multiple referrals your family member needs help from ss.
She is clearly making one bad decision after another and needs to break the cycle, it's the kids I feel sorry for.

Ss don't and won't help they instead will lie manipulate and will do anything to try take the kids people who don't agree sadly never seen the truth god help those who think ss are friends
