Just dropped my daughter off after having her from 10am yesterday , me and my girl had a fantastic time and I've realised what I have fought for over the past 17 months 🙂
We had a great weekend it was a breeze looking after her and we have really cemented our bond it's just a killer dropping her off although me and the ex have just agreed that I will have both girls next weekend from friday until sunday both my daughter and my step daughter 🙂
Yeah she's over the moon can't wait 🙂
Congrat's!
Really made up for you, Slim
Ah lovely to read Slim, well done 🙂
...you and your little family are just going from strength to strength....well done for managing your case so well, had you not put so much of yourself into this I doubt you would have got so far so quickly.....and the winners in all this? The children of course. 🙂
That is wonderful news, I am so pleased for you.
Thanks guys I've been a mess since dropping my girl off yesterday keep bursting into tears I think it may be all the stress finally subsiding I can't wait for this weekend now having both girls 🙂
Yeah man I've been like a pressure cooker all that time it's 3 months since the final hearing and I'm just starting to get back to my usual self the sense of achievement is absolutely fantastic though it will seal the deal when I have both girls this weekend like I said from the start I knew my step daughter would start to feel left out she gets really upset when her sister is with me, having not seen her for nearly a year it's shocked me how her disability has got worse and is going to get even worse shes had such a rough trot since birth she deserves the world and more
Hi slim,
The hole left once the children arent there can be tough to deal with. I feel for you.
I find it really hard, even after months of it.
I found it good to keep yourself busy afterwards and start planning the things for the next visit.

Cheers mate even though I went 10 months without seeing both girls I still start to really miss them midweek once Wednesdays out the way I start to feel better and like you have suggested I do start to plan what we are going to do at the weekend, I've got to build my bond back up with my step daughter now too as I found out when I seem her last weekend that my ex has drilled it into her that I was going to hit and hurt her as she tried to say throughout the court case that I abused her, my sd came over and gave me a hug and said look mummy slim didn't hurt me, I was so shocked looked at the ex and she just held her head in shame absolutely disgusting behaviour on her part, it's just a shame these ex's don't realise what effect their actions have on the kids it will all come back to haunt her for sure. I'm just thankful I managed to get the court out the way what my daughter was so young whilst she didn't realise what was happening
