I'm gonna be honest I DID want to warn her if they say no and she still goes ahead and takes him which she CAN as she has parental responsibility they could take her to court and she would LOSE parental responsibility , just wanted to warn her of that serious consequence and encourage her to work WITH them if she wants her son to be returned , the best way is to work with them however long it takes! x
Just doing my best in the meatime and waiting for this situation to be resolved with SS , having a new SW now who does not know the case doesn't help plus only having 9 working days to sort it all out doesn't help as they are a busy department! 
I do understand I need to take care of myself in all this , deal with my stuff , then move on! x
