    The agression to me was her husband changing the locks. Husband also seems to been putting his wife under alot of pressure. She is after all the mother of three children.

    My husband says that he thinks (The breaking and taking of passports) is suspicious, and fears I still have the passports and am planning on leaving the country with the children, he says that this is why he doesn't want me to have unrestricted access to the children, and that if I don't agree he is confident of obtaining an interim decision from a court in his favour.

    The poster is a headteacher. One would presume that she is a respectable member of society to hold such a position.
    I questioned whether her husband was mentally well. I didn't say he was unwell.

    Why did you question if he was well, if you were not contemplating the possibility of him being unwell?

    You are applying different standards to the two parties according to sex. The OP is hardly some little woman with a domineering husband, is she?
    Gone ... or have I?
  • Why does the Head Teacher of a large Secondary School use the term "would of" when it should be "would have"?
    I feel that this is all either a) blatantly untrue: b)making what could be an amicable seperation that protects the emotional needs of the children into a soap opera style divorce feeding the egos and needs of the adults: c) research for a book/soap opera.
    It needs to stop. Whichever is correct.

    i love the way 'DD' is used instead of 'Children'
    (i'm guessin "direct descendent"), i would never call any kid a DD

    I questioned if he was mentally unwell because to me the husband sounds rather paraniod. His wife is after all a headteacher.

    And also this.
    He has also told me that his recent "erratic" behaviour is entirely because of the missing passport situation.

    What is the relevance of her job? Are you suggesting a headteacher could do no wrong?

    Of course she can do wrong peachyprice. Just stating my opinion. I do of course presume that she would be holding such a responsible position because she is damm good at her job. She is afterall responsible for alot of children.

    You don't seem at all sure of your viewpoint?

    Maybe he knows more about her than we do and has very good reason for this.

    As it happens, the passports for 2 of my children (plus mine) are in the car right now and have been for at least a month. I needed photo copies of the main page for their bus passes. Mine is there because I have to do a CRB and the company want me to send a copy of the passport details to them. I'm not the most organised of people and haven't got round to bringing them in. Will do it now :)

    So I think it is plausible especially when you read the reasons given.

    I think her husband is hoping she doesn't know the law and is trying to get himself into the most favourable position possible. While what he has done is wrong, he knows he is unlikely to get more than a slap on the wrist for it. It also puts him in a stronger position regarding the family home and children.

    D.

    i dont say its suspicious that the passports were in the car, i too have carried round id like that for ages because i needed it for crbs and picking stuff up at the post office, i say it may not ring true (as someone said) that they were the things taken from the car - in a carrier bag of clothes- not sitting there waiting to be taken by a id fraudster and the bag they were in was taken in preference of stereos and whatever that was also in the car.
