So the title pretty much sums it up… my partner had CAS involved while he was with his ex, the mother of his children. The case was closed after he left her, he still remained in contact with the worker who was assigned to their case, she is genuinely a great person with a good heart. He goes to her for advice because he never had anyone else. Anyways, to sum it up his exes family are a bunch of nut cases including his ex.. they have pretty much no involvement in his two children’s lives ( 5 and 6 y/o) because the 6 year old is autistic and the 5 year old is FAS. She made a horrible decision to drink while pregnant, my partner was unaware until she was far into her pregnancy… needless to say the kids require a bit more attention and help. I love them both dearly, as if they were my own biological kids. Their mom has not seen them in years, she’s a dead beat loser. Now, to add to this, his mom is something else. She gave my partner up to CAS when he was 6 because she remarried and didn’t want the “baggage”. She would see him on some weekends and anytime he was in a foster home long enough where adopting was on the table she would pull him out of foster care and keep him for a bit then replace him in a new home… there was no reason he was in care, it wasn’t that she was negligent and they had to remove him for his wellbeing it was simply because she just didn’t want him. He spent from 6 years old til he was 18 in and out of homes, whenever he got familiar with a family she’d pull him out. Years and years of his building relationships with parents, other foster kids, other biological kids of the foster parents, their family etc just to have her break that up and have him start over again in a new placement. Why CAS didn’t stop her is beyond me. He was abused severely in some homes and they even broke his arm and leg while he was being punished… those homes she kept him in despite him saying he was being abused. He literally shut down a whole group home for severe negligence and abuse. These are the people calling CAS on us, the low live scum bags. They want to see him fail, they have told me face to face. The only stable thing in these kids lives, they want to take from them. They don’t have their biological mom, they don’t have their grandparents, they don’t have any relationship with their families aside from their dad, my partner…it’s actually sad. What makes people want to do something like this? My home is full of love! It isn’t perfect but they have everything they could need and want. They’re being raised good, with two loving parents. They’re striving and happy. I have a daughter whose 4 from a previous relationship and a 4 month old with my partner… I stay home with the kids while my partner works. I strive every single day for them. I give them my all, even when I’m feeling frustrated and defeated I still keep going.. I won’t lie, I’m exhausted a lot of the time… I have 4 kids, two with disabilities and one still a baby. Of course I’m going to be tired… but I don’t let it reflect on to my parenting… I guess this is about venting, I just don’t understand why they’re tolling with my life when they really don’t have any relevance to it. They are inactive family members to these kids and they could give a fuck less about them, so why do this? What’s the point? It’s honestly so fucked up I don’t even know what to think sometimes.. I’m sick of the calls tho, I’ve fought with CAS about it, I know whose calling and it’s consistent yet they have nothing to take the kids from me. My door is open and they know that and I’ve proven on multiple occasions that my home is fit and they’re loved. This is beyond harassment at this point
