Good Idea! I'd love just one thread to keep in touch! Soooo much easier! I'm sorry to hear about both of your ex's.... Especially yours Mel, I'd be getting that ADVO. You don't have to put up with that!

I have finally sorted out all the CSA and centrelink crap... lol. ExP and I are now on speaking terms and I am hoping that we can be friends.... for Brendans sake. I am not even considering dating just yet, but it's great that you girls have moved on! I finally got our chrissy tree up.... too bad it's only little. We are spending chrissy at my Auntys, so i'll get pics of brendan in front of the tree there

Brendan is spending his first chrissy with me and boxing day with his father. I hate this shared care crap and i've only been doin it for a month I'm really uneasy about leaving Brendan there, the last time i was there with him ExPs mum gave B a catalogue to play with which he ripped into small pieces and they let him put put it in his mouth when i checked on B he had no expression and i felt like something was wrong, so i ran over and he wasn't breathing well, he'd tried to eat the catalogue, i pulled out a palm full of paper from the back of his throat How can I leave B with his family if I can't even trust ExPs mum????

Anyway sorry to vent... take care ladies
