Hi Shrek
welcome to the site,
I don't have much experience of this I'm afraid, Sounds really tough though especially as there was no warning.
What have social services said?
I'm going to ask one of our experts to drop by and see if they can advise so keep checking back here.
Darren
socia services will tell me nothing
That's not great, keep looking back as the experts or some one else on here may be able to offer some advice

Hi shrek,
I have a few questions:
1) How old are your children
2) Have you actually separated from your wife
As you have said Police and Social Services have said they cannot disclose the location. How have they both come to be involved? Have there been domestic issues?
What is the nature of your wifes "mental illness"?
There are more questions that ideally should be asked but these are my starter questions.
Hi Shrek,
I will ask our friends at the Family Rights Group to pop by and see if they are able to offer you any advice.
Keep checking back to see what they have to say.
Gooner
my children are 3 years and 6 mths
i think i have all i know is things were fine the night before and i left for work in the morning when i came home the house was empty so i tried to get hold of her and nothing shes never out after dark as we live in a very rural area so i phoned the police who later came round and told me that her and the kids were fine but had left me and she asked them not to tell me where she is i can only asume social services are involved they wont tell me either way there has been social services involvement after the birth of my eldest when she hit me infront of a health visitor and her problems are un diagnosed as i couldnt get anyone to help when we were together but they start from her own upsetting child hood she is prone to sudden violent and abusive outbursts with no warning and for no real reason one minute were cuddling the next shes shouting and hitting me she also screams at both children when they want her to get something or are just playing near her and of course il answer more questions or elaborate if it will help
The family rights group expert will give you a full answer, but in my opinion, from what you have just said, I'd be contacting the social services and telling them what you've said on here and saying that you have fears for the Children's safety
some good news my partner contacted me tonight and wants too come home she will get help however now we have to battle social services
Hey Shrek, sounds like good news for now, but also like you need to get somethings sorted out. - can the new experts from the family rights group help us guys? wehn are they on the forum?
