Hi can you post anon please
I have been with my partner for nearly 7 years he has an 8 year old with his ex. Last year she broke up with her boyfriend and since then things have gone abit downhill. She started posting depressing stuff and getting drunk and crying on social media my partner notice she had cuts across her wrist when picking him up. She posts all the time about getting drunk and going out and having different guys round but when it seems to come Monday when she has her kids back that’s when she starts being depressed again. He doesn’t have baths at her house he comes to us filthy and tells us he’s asked his mum for baths but she says no but she can have baths so why can’t we? That was his reply, he tells us what he has for tea at hers and it’s always just a sandwich he gets himself up in the morning whilst she stays in bed and he walks to school alone. I’m really not trying to be horrible I’m just seeing what I can do about this situation her house is really dirty I don’t mean clutter I mean dirty! We have him on the weekends Friday till Sunday and on Wednesday. Between that his grandparents have for a week at a time and his brothers grandparents have him aswell. We were informed that someone had reported her to social services 2 weeks ago we don’t know what for but apparently their not taking it any further. My partner is going to ring on Monday and see if he can find out what has gone on. I’m not slating her or trying to be nasty in any way, I understand mental health issues as I suffer with them myself it’s just when u have a child come to u dirty doesn’t really eat and asks to stay with us as long as possible because he doesn’t want to go home it just stays there in your mind and makes you wonder. We have offered help by having him more we pay her money every week but she keeps causing trouble and giving my partner abuse saying we’re not having him long enough. Any advice will be much appreciated, thank you
This was my previous post last week and everyone told me to contact social services which we did, they’ve only just rang us back and said their not taking it any further due to lack of evidence. They had an anonymous tip off and went round and spoke to his school and now they’ve told us basically there not going to do anything. We still have him with us we’ve had him since last Friday his mum has made no effort to contact my partner to see if he’s ok. I’m just wondering if there is anything else we can do about this. Thanks
