I am feeling calmer today, thinking more rationally.
I cleaned difficult child's bedroom today, I have taken photo's of the damage he has caused to the room (graffiti everywhere, pop thrown up the walls, nicotine stains on the windows, burnt mattress), i broke his bed up and threw it away, took everything out that could be saved and put it in the loft. Tomorrow I am Stripping the wallpaper and redecorating the room. I need it to be clean. I will be showing the pictures to his social worker... we rent our house and could be sued for criminal damage if our landlords decided to check.
I am in the process of trying to retrieve records from the police, school and youth offending team.
I WILL continue to protect my family, they need me!
I will NOT allow them to bully me into taking him back so that he isnt their 'problem' any more
they wouldnt help when i begged them to, so now they are being forced to help i will NOT be backing down. If it means taking out restraining orders i'll do it. If they try to say I am unfit as a mother then let them, i have dried my best for 16 years.. surely that counts for something? But i am not superwoman, if thats what they feel he needs then let them find her.
