Re: At the End of my Tether!!!!

<t>David <br/> <br/> That is exactly what we did, mum was threatening us with solicitors and new hearings we waited for the dreaded letter to come through the door and when it did we replied like you and gave her previous solicitors details and just had a one liner back saying they were going to see...

Support group in Dartford

Re: Equal rights

<t>When we are put into difficult positions we all react with a fight or flight response, we don't sometimes have the ability to look from outside the box.
