    Money means nothing in a custody battle. Trust me.

    They have absolutely no chance. Don't let that concern you that they could get their way.

    I agree that putting some distance between you would be good for you. Would you not get help with the wrap around care for DS?

    I looked into it this week and I don't think it would cost me too much with the funding for youngest and help from Tax credits for the other two. Unless I understood it wrong :o But maybe worth looking into?

    I would look into finding a good childminder for your son when you move house, you'll get 70% back from the government through tax credits xx

    I hope you're looking for another job too as I know I couldn't work with my parents..........I would have killed them by now xx

    No court in their right mind would take your son away from you, you put him first and you act more mature than your own parents so please don't think for a second that this would happen xx

    They said they would get him easy. I dont like leaving him with them incase they try lock me out and not get him back.

    This morning she kept telling me I am a disgrace and now looking at anything now to get me fired and when my sons older he will see me for what I am. I just sat in silence and ignored her cos if you talk back shes even worse. He will know when hes older the crap they put me through!

    payday today. Thank god! 28 days to payday xx

  • I am mad and upset for you! Who do they think they are!! Do you work for your parents company? Or just happen to work for the same company?

    Hope you're ok! Buy yourself a bottle of wine and massive bar of chocolate as a pay day treat!

    I think you sound like a wonderful mum, and you are so right about your boy seeing them for what they are when he's old enough and will always appreciate you xxx

    Monz if they were to refuse you access to collect your son the police would insist they give your son back as legally he's yours so to speak so they are talking C R A P

    She's a bully and I'm so angry for you........that kind of person should not be a boss of a charity as you're meant to have compassion and she certainly does not sound like she has that.........how can she treat you like that???? It's disgusting xx

  • Hi lovely,

    Just caught up with your diary.

    So sorry that you're going through the same carp with your mother again, my mums mum was a bit like that so you have my sympathies.

    I definitely think you need to move as far away as possible (and cut ties?)

    You're doing great with the surveys and your deposit is creeping up :D

    You can always message me if you need to vent Hun. Big hugs lovely xxx
  • Hey monz,

    Been away for a few days & just catching up with your diary - I kinda want to strangle your Mum (sorry!!)

    I just honestly hate how you are being treated.

    We've never met but I can just tell your an awesome wee mummy who does everything for your boy.

    How they can treat you like this is an absolute disgrace!

    Dxxx
