    Don't forget to mention that she tried to abduct him and they both seem to be creeping up to your front door every so often.

    Wiggy hun - you will be fine! they are responding to your request for help not HER!

    now DEEP breaths and calm, calm, calm. You are a mature woman caring for her son - and want to be left in peace to do so! if it helps think of us all here at your back supporting you! We are so proud of you Wiggy! and we know you can explain matters in a calm way - you did it before didn't you after far more stressful events!

    hopefully - by resolve, the police mean to set legal wheels in motion to restrain your mother! (Handcuffs and leg irons would be nice - but a bit much to hope for!)

    UPDATE,
    As of today 180919. my granddaughter is now my official granddaughter, adoption finally granted
  • This might be too late, but what I would suggest is break this down into short, simple items and keep it to current items and importantly - What do you want to happen:

    1) Your relationship with your mother has broken down and will not be repaired in the short or medium term.

    2) Your mother feels she has a right to take Wiglet on demand regardless of your feelings.

    3) You have asked her to stop contacting you via the police and in writing via womans aid ? (sorry not sure, don't recall exactly).

    4) Have blocked her mobile number from contacting you, however regardless keeps sending unblockable texts, demanding access to Wiglet and threatening legal action, using a range of emotive language - these have not been responded to - yet still they persist.

    5) You wish ALL contact to cease and your front door key returned as it makes you feel unsafe and causes extreme distress after each text.

    Try to keep the exact points of why you are distressed and what you want them to do.

    I would leave the incident with the shutting out of the house/oar out since they are in the significant past and not quite so relevant to the current situation. PND is long in the past, it has no impact at all - leave that out too.

    Oh and ask them kindly to go to her door and ask her and your sister to stay away from you and your son.

    AND return the key to the building that she should not have! .....sorry - its already been suggested

    Hope it went well, Wiggy.
    Good enough is good enough, and I am more than good enough!:j

    If all else fails, remember, keep calm and hug a spaniel!

    Hope you're having a long chat with a sympathetic copper even as we speak. You are stronger than your mother.

    I'm sure all is ok, maybe this time on a Saturday night isn't the best time for her to be posting.

    Also. Another suggestion. Get a cheap second phone and let people who you trust and want to know that number have it.

    And turn the other one off at least from Christmas Eve to Boxing Day and again at new year.

    So you can have a few days in peace without her going on.

    Or. Just turn your phone off for a day or two. Any services you are involved with will probably be shut over Christmas for a few days anyway.

    Peace and quiet.
