    funny as it sounds we thought it would help us if they see our family in full rather than 2 adults turning up.
    dunno if that makes sense but we figured that they may as well meet us all and see how happy the boys are etc

    It's called stigma dave. We all have this image in our minds:o . That is until we ourselves go bc, then we realise it can happen to us too. We want people to know we have not just opted out,that we are decent people who have fell on hard times.Dx

    Well done,

    Am only just starting BR proceedings and our boys (18months & 3 Years) are our main worry. Taking them to McDonalds is stressful let alone court! Hope we can be as positive when our time comes.

    Good Luck X

    it is court but not as you think it is, just a small room with just 1 other person who happens to be a judge
    he only said a few things to us
    hello.
    do you understand the implications of bankruptcy.
    dont ask me any questions i wont know.
    please go back downstairs now and take these with you.
    goodbye.
    done in 10 mins
