    When DS returned I asked him how he didn't say or do anything, he defended her by saying she doesn't realise what tone of voice she is using and half the time what she is saying! Well in my mind that's no excuse.
    She will be learning over the next few days. But I will be bidding my time for the right moment to speak in a calm moment etc.
    I am going to wait for the meeting tomorrow morning, and see what my options are over the boys etc and see what progress can be made in a house swap. Hopefully then I can come up with a plan to get them moving forward.
    Thankfully I am in a good place at the moment and the wonderful summer etc has kept me positive.
    I chose not to react on impulse yesterday, and I am learning.

    I am going to work a little earlier today as I am behind on work because I came home for an hour when Twin1 etc brought Dgd Home.
    As DS is here I don't have to take Dgd to work with me. I told her she could have a lay in, but if she wanted to cycle down to the Shop later she could.
    So I am about to tiptoe around them, go for my shower and head off. I will have finished my tea here in the bedroom and I have cereal at work. Although I will need to make my lunch as the baguette shop is still on holiday.
    Positive thoughts Moo! positive!
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    I have just been told by the Social Worker that I am not allowed to blog about my family.
    So bit late after 11 years here.
    Currently I am fuming. This has saved my sanity. Pull this from under my feet and I know that I will struggle.

    Basically I want to tell them where to go. But I suppose I had better not.

    I suppose that it shows that they are doing their research on me if they have found my threads on here.

    I don't have any secrets so they can read away. They might learn how they ruin lives they are supposed to be helping.

    So for now this has to be my last post.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Sorry mooloo but I would very much question that. They might have issues with you posting about your son and his gf but your granddaughter is not under care of social work and they have no right to tell you to stop posting about her.

    Or biggest. Or your shop or your mum. That is a nonsense. Ask them why.

    Seriously, Mooloo? Can a social worker tell you this and quote the actual law? It could be infringement of your personal liberties.

    But I understand that you will do everything possible to keep your family together and get them on a good road to health and happiness - so I wish you every success and well - and I for one will be thinking of you every day and praying that all will be well with you all. Thinking particularly of biggest, hoping that her baby stays safe and sound where it should be for the next few weeks and is welcomed into the world xxx
  • So sorry to hear this Mooloo but as others have said I'd question the legality of what you've been told. I can understand them saying you shouldn't write about DS' current situation but no-one else is subject to social services involvement at the moment.

    I would also question how they discovered you were writing on here. Wouldn't put it past one or two members here that possibly tipped them off. But, I agree with everyone else - it's none of their damned business!!
  • Quite shocked to read this Mooloo . As you got this from the social worker not some random source I've spoken with my dd involved in safeguarding and child protection . From her experience this could concern the little boys . If there is a safeguarding order in place protecting their location your posts regarding when they visit your house could mean they could be at risk not from the family but from those ds and gf are getting grief from . This may not be the reason but it is something she encounters in her working life .


    I feel sorry you feel unable to make use of your thinking space . I've followed your journey from the beginning although it is only in the the last year or so I've joined in .
    I've seen how you think things through and formulate your plans always moving forward . You are a strong and positive lady and I hope you will come back here even if it's just for plans and hopes until the present situation is sorted .


    Onwards and forwards Moo sending you a gentle hug and a bucketload of patience .
    Hope all is well and Biggest is hanging in there .
    Take care love

    Could they be confusing your blog with faceache?

    As long as you do not name names and refer to ongoing procedures then surely anything else is none of anyone's business.

    See you elsewhere pet.
