      Since reporting an incident to The police my kids have now been placed on a child in need plan. Absolutely terrifies me and makes me feel like they are saying I’m a bad parent.
      I reported him and got him removed so I feel like I am protecting them.
      Been prescribed antidepressants because of all the stress it’s causing me. I actually feel depressed since leaving the relationship. I felt fine when I was with him and playing happy families.
      Anyone else been in a similar position? Also maybe I’m nuts but I booked a holiday too for quite some time in the future, will I be allowed to go?!

      Hi

      Please understand you have done the right thing, you are controlling what you can, putting you and your family in a safe situation and moving on.

      A child in need plan is not saying you are a bad parent at all, it is about giving support if/where needed for you and your children. Keep doing what you do, be honest with the services and you will be ok. Don’t hide anything or lie, services will need to know everything to advise you best, they won’t judge. Let them help. Don’t be embarrassed or ashamed or feel like it’s you even if you may have hit him, the violence from every part was wrong but you were being tormented and abused. Remember that and explain that to the services. Honesty is always best. You’re being strong and brave and should be proud of yourself.

      You might feel this way for a while but it’ll pass. It’s your mind playing tricks on you. Focus on the good things in your life and like future plans like the holiday. It’s good it’s booked! Fingers crossed you can go. Keep going for long walks, clear your head and enjoy the fresh air. This helped me.

      Reach out again if you feel like you’d like to chat.
