Pixies Place Forums - View Single Post - i've got serious parenting issues/need some basic input

Ok first let me say as a single parent myself I do know how hard it can be. Secondly why isn't she living with you in the first place? I mean mums are suppose to get custody of their kids unless they have a drug problem or have serious Post Natal Depression. In my ex's case she had both which she turned to drugs to help her forget and that is how I got my son. Anyway all I can say is keep fighting the system until you get your daughter. Get a good lawyer and get them to fight the point that her cutting is due in part to what things are like where she lives. I don't want to say this, but it is possiible that someone at her dad's is touching her. Which would explain some of her behavour. If you want to find out if that is going on or not ask her when you see her next and make sure it's in private so no one else can hear what is said. Good luck and may the force be with you.....padawan!
