Unfortunately I have been subject to my husband’s son challenging the care home I chose for my husband. It’s a very long story but it ended up in court and me losing my case because the son made promises under oath to visit my husband everyday if he was moved nearer him, saying that my husband’s grandson suffered travel sickness and couldn’t visit (he didn’t suffer from this), that’s just two of the lies. He is a very manipulative person and managed to charm the SW and the advocate appointed for my husband and the judge who ruled against me. It cost me tens of thousands of pounds trying to get my husband kept in the home where he was settled. He has had to move twice since then because the homes chosen by the SW couldn’t cope with him, he is currently under a section 3 and I don’t know where he will go on discharge. BTW the son has visited once in the last year and the grandson has not been, he lives five minutes away from the last home!
Last week when the SW phoned and asked me if the son knew where my husband currently was ( he didn’t) I finally managed to tell her the truth about him, it was met with a wall of silence. She said she’d have to tell him he still hasn’t been.
I’m sorry that I’ve had to tell you this
@Lindajimbob but being his wife had no standing in law for me and I’m left to pick up the pieces and try to help my husband as much as I can, difficult in the present circumstances.
I sincerely hope that you can succeed in getting your husband kept where he is. x
