Sorry that the thread title was a bit vague but I was struggling to word it!
Basically, I am wondering how my medical history or acceptance of help could affect me in the future of I do manage to go ahead with HE. As it is now, I've been offered a Family Support Worker from the local children's centre because of being a single mum who is a bit isolated and was struggling a bit with socialising and taking dd out. I was also offered a place at a single mums group for six weeks which I've been attending. Since going to that, my confidence has improved and I don't worry about taking dd out anymore. Obviously this will all be noted down somewhere by my HV and the people who arrange this group. As socialising is one of the big worries to people who don't really get HE, will this blip come back to haunt me? Could they stop me HE in some way by saying I won't socialise dd properly?
Also, the family support worked. Now that I feel so much better I don't know whether to accept the help or not now that I don't really need it. My main worry is that again it will be on record and could be held against me in someway to show that dd shouldn't be left to be HE by me. My secondary worry is if I decline, it could be held against me now.
I also have mild MH issues that I've worked very hard to overcome and they no longer affect me and dd's daily life and I hope with even more time, I can overcome them completely. Would this MH stuff being in my medical history again be used against me to prevent HE?
I know that how I educate dd is my choice but I'm wary that all these things could lead to some sort of involvement by SS to stop me doing it.
Does anyone have any advice or information about this type of thing? Its a long way off but I worry that choice I make now could affect us down the line. Thanks :)
