There's quite a big debate raging here in the UK at the moment about at what stage in a truly disfunctional family should children be taken away permanently and put up for adoption.
The focus at the moment from social services et al is that children should stay with their birth family for as long as possible, and support can be put in place to help this.
However, the CEO of a big children's charity has said that he thinks children should be put up for adoption earlier, as before their 2nd birthday there is a far smaller chance of psychological damage.
First I must state I'm extremely grateful that I found this site. Reading your experiences has helped me daily!!!
My boyfriend and his now ex-wife had their final hearing in September, but at that time he contested the children's schedule because we no longer felt it was in the best interest of the children to be in a 50-50 split.
I have no idea whats wrong with me but ever since the judge told us (friday) that my SD3 will be leaving to live with her mom I can't stand to be around her. I flip from severely depressed, to angry and annoyed, and I just can't seem to control it. I love this little girl more then anything before, and now it seems like since she's going to be leaving anyways I just can't wait for her to be gone.
OMG!!!! I could not believe what I was reading. I am going through the same issues with my husband's ex. She has lied so many times, I have lost count, she has even tried to have CPS come to my home. She has try beating me up while I was 8 months pregnant with my baby girl in front of their child (my stepdaughter). Both me & my SD get along great (if mother is not around), I love my SD as if she were my own. I have tried so many times to be "civil" with my husbands ex, but it just won't happen. I truly feel that things will never get better.
maybe getting it out will help.
I have a wonderful relationship with my SD, despite BM's stupidity. BM was not stupid up until she got married recently now it is constantly something, but I do not let that affect my relationship with SD. Does anyone else have a great relationship with their SKid or SKids? I mean truly a wonderful relationship where you consider your SKid to be yours regardless of being a bio parent or not. I hear so many horror stories and just hope and pray that my relationship with SD doesn't end up like that. No offense to anyone.
I am leaving my DH. I have a custody agreement written out, that I hope he will agree to out of court. I think he will, only because neither of us has the money to go to court, but I am not sure. I just don't know when to tell him, or when to leave. Our one year is in less then a week, and we have plans to go out of town. I feel heartless to tell him now, and cancel those plans, but feel like a bitch to let him think we are OK through that. Then, Christmas is right around the corner, but then SD14's b-day is not too long after that.
I was raised around women\girls and learned alot of my manerisms from them on how to deal with Girls. Don'g get me wrong I have no bi-sexual tendancies and guys are great to hang around with play ball with, talk about Sports with, Technical issues with, although women do that well too. However my whole life has been centered around dealing with women, and then I get married for a second time and when I have a second child she is girl too.
She said that the 1st mom gets more...huh? They were never married. She also said that he has to pay CS plus half expenses and daycare. So confused. And he is responsible for college and all extra cirricular activities. She already gets 28% of income and now we have a baby so H and I are a family of 5 not including skids. Wont the judge take that into consideration. HEEELLLLPPP
