    Ooooh yes, please come back later Wiggy.

    If nothing else, we need to know how we should refer to your furry friend.

    Is it:
    "Waggy",
    "Wigdog"
    "Wagdog"
    "WigWag Dog"

    .......or perhaps something else?

    :):):)

    xxxxx

    Hopefully, it should be WAGALOT!!!!

    Sorry, but you are coming across as 'whining' now! you were both listened to and everyone was polite and explained why we advise as we do. now you are coming across like Wiggys mother - its all about 'YOU'.
    You have both had your difference of opinion and its been discussed nicely - now you are whining - and it isn't attractive. you are coming across badly now.



    And you need to chill out meritaten lol


    Its Christmas after all!!

    the original point of this thread was that wiggy-woo asked for help in dealing with her mother and sister - not opinions.

    Each and every opinion voiced on this thread is valid - but in reality - how many are helpful to wiggy-woo?

    Opinions could be voiced on another thread completely - without devaluation xx

    ^^^^^ this!

    I would like to request that posters, however helpful their intentions, please stop using Wiggie's thread to argue the toss between themselves. It is NOT helping Wiggy.

    Wiggy...hope you had a chilled out day today. Take some of the more recent contributions on your thread with a pinch of salt....(apart from the request for Wigdogs name of course :o)

    You're doing grand lass......:T:j:cool:

  • I am back, goodness me, thought there was an error with the amount of pages! :O

    I don't mind difference of opinion, I appreciate that it is all 'my side' really. I have good feelings from what has been suggested in texts that my mum knows what the reasons are. I've experienced first hand that she sees things differently. the incident with taking wiglet, she skimmed over it immediately after and saw it as 'protecting him'. She practically screamed 'mental illness' at the officers attending to retrieve him, and my sisters quickly got on the bandwagon, both theorising rapidly that I was bipolar, mad, an assortment of all of it. I will never forget my youngest sister standing right outside, stating that I was bipolar and unstable and she worried for wiglet in my care.

    I don't try to think about it and try to forgive, telling myself she is only young and just has mum to go by. But she was 15 and could debate with me on sexism then. not a baby and certainly not someone who didn't know what she was saying. As for my other sister, she was 17. She was qualified to work in a nursery. She had a baby too. Yet she said the same and actually cried on the doorstep as if I would hurt him if he left, that to go back to his mother would be giving him to the devil or something!

    I do worry if I did the right thing and it is no mean feat to say to an officer, yes I'd like my mother arrested. Of course I worried and doubted it, but at the end of the day, I did only ask for some space. she's got out of hand and it seemed only right to put a stopper to things.

    I got a call today saying they'd gone around. He had a heavy Scottish accent so I had difficulty hearing him a bit, but it sounded like they'd hadn't arrested her but the statement had been read so must have gone to police station? And had told her no contact or she will be arrested. I think he said she did not understand and was asking why, but from my experience, this would be her way of proclaiming innocence, showing me as unstable and cruel and casting doubts. Not to mention saving face if it happened in public.

    I don't know. Anyway, it is done. I can't help but feel the lady officer who attended to take my statement pushed it forward as she heard from me the situation, and so it didn't take as long as she said.

    It feels therapeutic to have all of that away, at least for now. There are times when I think about all they've done that I wonder what is wrong with me, if it IS me and not them? If they are right and I'm not a good mum, or I am mad? But if that was true, surely others would say so too. I've heard nothing but good things from HV and other people. And how would I be doing it all now, not feeling down or anything like that, like bipolar or PND feel? Just guess you have to have a bit of faith in yourself- that or be so busy with dirty nappies and playing dinosaurs that everything goes on anyway!
    Up and onwards to the future!
