my ex partner wants full custody :(

[amylou1992]

sooo... i stupidly let my ex take my 2 kids down 2 see his parents, (there granparents) on friday night til sunday nite (today) only he went and turned his fone off at 2pm, and didnt turn it back on til 8pm gone!!!

i was so worried something had happened, couldnt get hold of anyone at all, so i rang the police and explained what had happened about 6pm. but as it took so long for a officer to get in contact he had already turned his fone back on so i told them not 2 worry.

and now because ive done that my ex thinks social will be involded and hes going to make up loads of shit to tell them just to get custody! im not a perfect mother, do have days where all i want to do is cry but i would do ANYTHING for my children, yet he couldnt give a stuff, when we lived together all he did was go 2 work, come home, fall asleep or ring his mates/ family and ingnore his kids!

i do everything for the kids, he never looks after them, he barely even changes there nappies! he dont dress, bathe, feed, or play with the kids when he is about!

i just feel like he is trying to ruin my life! and i dunno where i stand or how to go about stopping him!

He is most likely all talk about this. He wouldn't get full custody even if he did try. He'd need proof and lots of it to show you were unfit looking after them.

I doubt Social would be involved over this. Nobody is a perfect mother, we all have days where we just want to cry.

I know its easier said than done but try not to worry.

the courts wont take custody from a mother without good reason, they wouldnt ever just take his word for it that you are a bad mother. i would stop worrying and tell him to sod off. also there are probably hundreds of mums who have asked for the police to check that their children are ok when the ex is being an arse i honestly would just ignore him. and none of us are perfect mums

Like all the other ladies have said - I think he's full of bull and it's just the thing these FOB's say when they want to get a rise outta us or control a situation by making us scared.

As Kirsty said nobody is a perfect mother, but the social services know which kids are in real need and whats just a domestic situation.

Lot's of hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

As others have said, your children will not be taken off you, just because your ex is saying stuff, they need hard good proof that the children are not looked after/safe in your care...

you will be fine, just because you have a bad day doesn't mean you are a terrible mum.. xx
