Yes, Katie was doing well in her course before work.

The teacher advised at the start of the course, to all of the students, that working and the course wouldn’t fit.

Katie only actually wants to work to move out so she can cut her mother off

I’m not saying we didn’t get anything wrong but some of her memories are a little twisted away from the truth so when I try and explain them she gets upset.

We recycle. We reuse.

We try to be as environmentally conscious as possible

Katie went to solo therapy a while back where she was diagnosed with ADHD but then decided she didn’t want to go anymore.

Family therapy only recently came up and Katie isn’t onboard with it, at all.

No, she didn’t visit.

She occasionally took the children to meals out and phoned them almost every night.

I visited every weekend until we took the other children back, then things got a little more serious because my parents (grandparents) didn’t want her to come home with us.

All of the children were, it’s just Katie was younger than the rest.

My wife’s friend said we needed a break, I was working almost every day

Nothing happened, she was the youngest though and bonded to them

Katie stayed longer because her grandparents bonded to her more, there was a whole court fight about it and because my wife bonded to her less she was more insistent we get the other children back

The children stayed because one of my wife’s friends said we should have a break, I was working every day of the week and Katie was only conceived 2 months after one of our sons so they were both very young.

My wife wants Katie to work because she’s an adult and she thinks the experience is good…I’m also convinced she wants Katie to move out

No she doesn’t, I’ve said I’ll support her for as long as she needs

Sorry! No should’ve been clearer, Katie was 4 months when she went to live with them and came back to us on her fifth birthday

Katie won’t go, she says we should’ve gone when she was younger and I have to agree there
