Hi thank you for reading my post.
I have been with my fiance for nearly 3 yrs now and we have always had contact with son who is 5. His mother is a bitch and wants it her way or no way and does not really care about her son, he comes to us dirty, smelly and nails long and dirty.
We have always had problems with SS from day one from crying for no reason, not talking to us, lying and just general problems.
The last few months he has come to ours and not spoken to me, I find this very disrespectful as it my house, the last 2 times we have been due to have him his mother has told us he dont wanna come to ours but sent him anyway and last weekend we took him home early due to him crying so much. We were due to have him today but mother called this morning to say he dont wanna come (she told him he was coming friday till sunday and she says he feels let down by his dad for not picking him up, even tho that was never what was arranged). She is now saying she is going to her solicitor and wants an arrangement for us to have him friday till sunday night, SS does not like staying one night let alone 2 so we are not happy with this.
I will admit I have smacked him and so has his dad but have not for nearly 2yrs now.
I cant not stand him and I dread the weekends we are due to have him, also we r trying for a baby and feel like the stress is not helping with our fertility.
All mother cares about is getting rid of her son and she wants to make our lives hell!!
Can a judge make us see SS??
Does SS have to come to ours?

I would be grateful for any advise

Thanks Sam xxx

anything court ordered is just that, you have to comply. however, you may be able to voice your concerns about his behavior while at your home and why you do not want him there, but, make it sound as if you are concerned for the child's feelings, as you should be anyways. but dont disregard your own feelings. consult a lawyer, and have as much documentation as you can.

We are keeping all messages she sends us and i am sure she is also, we are also going to a solicitor to get some advise. I dont think ss should be made to go somewhere he dont wanna go but she just wants to get rid of him when she can

My question is WHY doesn't he want to go to his father's house? It sounds like this child is abused maybe either physically or emotionally or both. I'm only going off of what you said, I realize I probably don't know the whole story but- Why, instead of trying to find out what's wrong with this little boy are y'all so ready to get rid of him? Constant crying? No talking? Is the mother making him afraid of his dad or of you? Maybe therapy is in order for this little boy

BM was telling my SS that if he misbehaved DH was going to move away and SS would never see him again. DH went ballistic on her. I personally think my SS is emotionally abused by his mother...we're hoping the therapist will be able to help him.
