[Solved] Not able to see my Daughter

Hi Locky

You could also think about attending a Families Need Fathers meeting in your area, where you’ll meet others in a similar situation and get some face to face advice and support. Here’s a link to their website where you’ll find a list of meetings nationally, hopefully there will be one near you.

It’s good that you can rely on your mum and step dad to support you, we will do what we can to advise and support you too. If you have any questions, you only have to ask.

All the best

Just an update court papers handed in and going to do online courses that will support me in caring for my daughter as a single dad, I think if I have a tool box of skills for my daughter when I'm allowed access can only be good for me and her.

I will look up the link for support groups and I'm seeing a solicter next week for free half hour and see what what they say I should hear from the court in around a month? It's just a waiting game now.

Miss my little loads but I have to keep going for me and her to carry on with the relationship we had before I wasn't allowed access, I've put all I can in place and I'm accessing services for my mental health and GP as sleep is not good at minute.

Thank you for your help its supported me in the process very grateful as a young single dad with ASD it's been a challenge, my little girl is my heart and no one is taking that away so onwards and upwards for the future, just a wait now.

Hi, you mentioned doing online courses. thats good. but try to avoid any further costs for now. during my court process, cafcass ordered me and ex to take SPIP separated parents course. they referred it so i did it for free. as for sleep issues, i would recommend exercise, like a nice run in the park or gym. every now and then sleep issues drive me nuts. after 2 days of bad sleep, i drop dead and get some decent sleep.

Hi

Thanks for the comments, it's called a triple p course I'm doing online as not good in groups and it's free so that helps

I'm going to join a gym as it as a pool aswell and I can take m daughter to learn and play with me, I've found someone to go with so induction booked and see if that helps.

My sleep bad due to my ADHD / ASD always as been to be honest so hopefully the gym will help me.

Thanks

That’s really good Locky, the courts like to see parents being pro active and showing how seriously they take the role of parenting.

We often recommend our members use exercise, as way to deal with anxiety and sleep problems, it should encourage your appetite too if that’s been an issue!

Talking to others will help too... all the best mate.
