I'm seriously stressed tonight. Some of you may know the problems I've mentioned re: DS's GF and her family who moved here within 3 months of meeting us and now, 15 months later the parents want to move away again, even tho both DD & DS were bullied in school and various other probs with previous location. Both parents have mental health probs and the GF has same health prob as my DS (IYSWIM). After growing concerns over the last 15 months and several talks with my GP, I contacted NSPCC who said, from the info I had given, that there were child protection issues (one of them being that the situation was driving GF to self-harm) and they have passed this on to Social Services. Anyway, this evening, out of the blue GF called DS and, in floods of tears, broke up with him. He was very upset, but about half hour later she called back, still in floods of tears, then we heard her screaming as her mother took the phone away and hung up. I tried calling back and left a message on the answerphone to say that I understood she had been on the phone to DS and was very upset (playing dumb) and that maybe it would be a good idea for them to have a talk, but no response. We are all very worried and DS wants to go round and knock, but I said they might well just call the police. GF is not 16 till November, so under age and can't do anything. My GP asked me on Monday, when I told her I had contacted the NSPCC, "What would you do if GF said she didn't want to move and asked if she could stay with you?" I said "Re-arrange the furniture?" I am so worried that GF may do something before Social Services get round to seeing the family, and will the parents let them see the children alone? Does anyone have any advice to offer?

i'm so sorry i've got nothing very helpful to say but i wanted to give you my support. you've done the best thing you can getting ss involved...if you hadn't done that you'd have been on pins wondering what had happened. i can only say that i think you're probably right about not going round. does she have a mobile you can text and ask her just to text back that she's alright. i'm so sorry i can't be more helpful. has this lastest just happened tonight? hugs, hugs and more hugs xx

*Hugs* Pink Fairy - I am sorry I can't give you any advice, but it sounds as though you have tried to do all you can for now.

I hope you hear something soon to set your mind at rest.

hugs again

lots of good wishes to your son for tuesday and lots of hugs for you. my dd had the same operation when she was four....best thing we ever did. no more deafness, no more glue ear and no more sore throats. will be thinking of you xx

Mudbath you have no idea the relief i feel reading your post. The reason jacks having the op is at my request in all hoensty purely because his glue is worsening also his throat is almost closed the doctor was happy for me to give him decongestant for 2 months. (have you ever heard anythign like it)and tbh grommets are a NO NO, or should i say the very last option for us. Finger crossed and hope the glue ear clears with no further intervention.

My elsdest 2 have had the operation but not for glue ear just for the fact that the tonsils flared up everytime they breathed in. Suffered constantly with them. This one has more riding on it. Its not just getting them out, its in real hope that the glue ear goes. But i am sure you know where i am coming form on that score.

Thanks for the well wishes xx

chunky - if my daughter is anything to go by she woke up and asked for pizza within 10 seconds. the nurses thought she was really brilliant as there were five others having the op that day and they were all adults and complaining like mad. make sure you have a treat for yourself when you get home as you'll deserve it. it'll all happen perfectly xxxxx

Pink: I don't know what to advise - I have no experience in this field but I'm am sending you and everyone involved the biggest hug possible and so many good vibes that it should all turn out right in the end.

Pinkfairy, i don't really know the situation but really just wanted to send you a big cyber hug.

Although this looks more like a dodgy 3some forgive me xx:grouphug:

pink.. I'd be tempted just to back off from the family and just look after ds very carefully. They, as you say, have their own issues, these have been flagged with the relevant authorities and the gf will be 16 before anyone knows it and they can make a decision themselves. She wouldn't be allowed to stay with you without either her parents consent or you officially fostering her which would be most likely not permitted due to her relationship with your son. Stick by your boy and deal with what is thrown at you and I am totally certain it will all turn out fine in the long run.

With issues like they have SS would probably speak to the girl on their own, they don't necessarily have to have a parent present they do need to get a court order though I believe.. though in some circumstances this may be different..

My friend works for the child protection... and I've had my fill of SS for one life time.. most of the staff need burning at the stake..

Hi all

Thank you very much for the hugs. I think I was maybe hoping someone works for SS that might have a suggestion, but DS may end up calling Childline or something himself.
Yes, she called about 9.30, then again about 10.00, but nothing since and I would imagine her mother will have taken her mobile from her so, if it's still on and we text to make sure she's OK it might cause more probs! When they 1st came here, Mum thought I was her best friend and wouldn't get the message I work full time, so if I was working from home she would turn up and wait for me to make coffee and sit talking. Now she wants them to move back coz she misses her friends, but they had a violent, abusive neighbour, the bullying probs and she doesn't have a clue about DD's illness, although she's been ill about 5 years. I'm the opposite. My GP has even called me in to speak to another parent on diagnosis, as she says I'm the local expert!:eek::o DS has been ill for 7 years, so I've done a lot of research and read loads. The GP seems in agreement with me involving SS although obviously her comments are non-specific and unbiased etc.
