So confused
Posted: Thu Oct 12, 2017 4:39 pm
Hello,
Sorry to bother everyone again but I need help.
My son is under an interim care order, he has been since June, he is 2 1/2.
I am doing all that is asked of me and am engaging with all services.
I was told by my son's social worker that I have a really good chance of having my son returned to my care.
There is a directions hearing on the 22nd of November.
The social worker has said that I could get my son returned a lot earlier and gave me the impression I would have him home by Christmas and his Birthday which is in January.
I went to a care plan meeting today and the normal social worker was away.
The one replacing said that I couldn't get him home before and that the final decision would not be until the final hearing which isn't until February.
I am deeply distressed as I was told that it was virtually certain that I would have my son returned.
They have said that this also relies on the psychologist report that they are waiting for.
I am concerned, although I don't have any mental illness that this will be negative.
I feel like I don't want to carry on anymore. I have witnesses who know that the social worker has said I would get him home soon as as they were present.
She has also said the following 'I am a social worker, it is my job to find what I can to show my children can't be returned to their family, buy you are not giving me anything'. Surely this goes against the fact that social services profess to try and keep a child at home.
There is been many misquotations where people have come forward and said that they didn't say what was quoted.
I miss my son dearly and I can't take anymore. I can't carry on without him. I feel like my whole world is falling apart.
I don't want to live without my little boy, it is too painful.
Please help me.
Thanks,
A
