He comes into the kitchen looking sad. It's not unusual, we are both sad when we get back from taking our child back to the council offices. But it's not the shared kind of sadness. I ask what the matter is. He's been talking to his brother on the phone. Yesterday his dad texted to say he'd had a long phonecall with social work. His dad said they needed to talk. He'd had an email from his solicitor, who'd also had a long phonecall to social work. I seems they were all saying the same thing.
"My brother thinks they will let him live with me, if we split up."
I say the important thing is that our child is with family.
He says it's not fair.
He says he'll let me see our child anytime I want to.

As always, my thoughts are with you, and I hope you can get back on track.

Thankyou blighters rock. It is not we who want to split. The issue arose because my partner's solicitor indicated social work might give our child back to my partner, but not if I was in the picture. We agreed it would be better for our child to be with one of us than neither, even if this meant we could no longer be a family.
Thankyou oldpesky. It's getting more and more scary
