Well my user name is probably the giveaway.
I expect I'm breaking some terrible internet etiquette by joining in.
IzzyA is a daughter in a million and it is truly horrific that she and her brothers have to endure this awful situation.
Thank you to everyone who has helped her and posted such encouraging comments.
Her Dad is going away for a second week of respite the week after next, and we can't wait. In the meantime, everyone is doing exams and her father continues to make our lives a misery.
I am very worried about IzzyA, who is frequently falling asleep at school and has totally lost her motivation for most things. Her school grades are dropping and she has now walked out of lessons on several occasions, even walking out of a maths exam (her favourite subject in the world) and sleeping through an entire french exam.
It's tough enough to effectively be a single working parent, plus struggling with the behaviour of an irrational toddler in a adult body and the fallout of the effect he has on us.
Yes he hit our youngest son for no reason at all. Yes the Social Worker knows.
Then with his carers/neighbours etc he is sweetness and light and I feel I must be going mad. I'm not. IzzyA'sDad saves his worst behaviour for us, and especiallly me.
Our house is not a happy place to be and it tears me apart.
