Takes more than just words - what has he done to show he understands he was violent and that behaviour is not acceptable ?

Have you spoken with Woman's Aid by any chance ?

Maybe they could offer you some advice or maybe the NSPCC .

i do have a womens aid worker but have not spoke to her in 3 months as she says all the work with me is good and no need to carry on.

if me and my partenr went to the guardian and told her what our plans our to be able to be together again would they take my baby off me for saying that as i signed a working agreement saying i would not see him while under assesment

thank you

Taya you have obviously worked hard at convincing social services you are a fit mother. But you say your bf has done nothing. No one is going to believe that he has changed unless he takes steps to show them that he has. He should be doing those courses and having counselling to make himself a better person and to understand the reasons why he resorts to violence, not just to get back with you and the baby.

Get him to do the courses. Get the social workers to arrange supervised contact so he can show them how good a father he can be.

And please think about yourself - why did you get into a violent relationship and why on earth do you want to revive it? Havde faith in yourself. You are worth more.
