we had a case similar to this were a step parent refused a ladys son to come and live there and it ended up in divorce.
as quite rightly the lady had to put her son first, she couldnt leave her son out in the cold and i remember her pain in such a horrible situation it realy is a nightmare one
i know for me i could never see one of my kids out on the streets no matter what i know its easy for people to say its the right way but having lost a son i would of given my own life to save if i could, i certainly could not sit back and do nothing i would rather have the guilt of being an enabler than have the guilt that my child died out on the streets
but thats just me as i said i sit here now 2 years on from my son dying and knowing i would of given my own life for that little lad to still be here.
my heart goes out to you it really does but tell me what would you do if your partner had not said he can not come home to you ?
