Thank you. I am lost in the system. Doing everything ‘expected’ off me. They do not care how we ended up in the position we are in. They simply want to look ‘forward’. The system has let my children down. They ignore the context of our situation. Do not care about the years of emotional abuse and manipulation. They ask the children what they want over and over. Different judges. Different case workers. All giving him the benefit of the doubt. No support for me – not in real terms. The police and social
Services tell me one thing and then write generic reports that share equal ‘blame’. The sole reasons I left. To protect my children. To show them there was another way. Slowly undone in a fastidious manner. Subtley. In a way that only I can seem to see.
I will always be their mum. I didn’t let them down.
