Now the position is reversed - i have to take the same series of facts and persuade the powers that be that although i am (or will be) nine months further down the road, i am still fit to be the mother of a teenage family! However this time i will play it by ear. there are too many witnesses - social workers and others of their ilk who will portray things the way they see them; one just has to hope the judge can perceive -and is sufficiently educated - to see the truth.
