I just wanna say thanks to you all for giving me some outside insight. This is my first post to reddit ever, I just didn't know where to turn anonymously so came on here. You've all been very supportive in one way or another and it's very much appreciated. 🖤

@susanm It sounds like we are in very similar situations. My other half assists me in raising my son but like yours, understands that he has a father. Albeit one that values his career over his children, but that's beside the point. He does him and I do me. Ugh your step Mum sounds like a right...

@susanm It's just unimaginable isn't it! Like I'm grateful she takes care of him whenever my son goes to their house, my ex is military so he's not always able to get time off when my son had school breaks so she does deal with him quite a bit until my ex gets home after work. I've trusted her...

@owens266 My son is currently awaiting assessment for both, the paediatrician thinks he possibly has both but until I get a proper diagnosis from a specialist we won't know for sure. He is just waiting for the test dates to come through. The wait in the UK for diagnoses is at an all time high...

@owens266 Thats what I am angry about. He wasn't cleared by a doctor for this medication, he could have had some adverse reaction or anything. I love him whether he has ADHD or Autism or not, and as his primary caregiver whom he spends 46 out of 52 weeks of the year with, its mine and my sons...

@spookydawg77 We've spoke on the phone where she admitted that she gave the medication to him. She admitted she was wrong and apologised but then went on to justify herself by saying all the kids were hyper and she couldn't deal. I remained calm and just told her I was upset and angry and that...

@escapewoman This option did also go through my mind, should the teacher ask about what he said.

@spookydawg77 I just meant it as an expression, I don't literally mean I'm the devil, although I appreciate the concern shown for my mental health. I am just stuck between a rock and a hard place. I want to do what is best for my son in regards to his safety, but in doing so I could potentially...

@escapewoman I know she's totally at fault, but them and their family, gosh if I did report it, I would be the devil incarnate. I would never ever hear the end of it. Be blamed for everything. I don't know if I could deal with that.

@escapewoman The teacher who asked my son if he was medicated this afternoon hasn't reached out so I'm not sure if they have twigged or not. I only found out because the only medication he has ever had from me is antibiotics or pain relief, so when he said he told the teacher that he tried some...

@spookydawg77 Thanks for your insight. This is what I am leaning towards more. My ex husband was texting me explaining that they were sorry and that they needed to be more educated regarding their other sons medication, but part of me feels he was defending her choice to illegally medicate my...

Just a little update, after speaking with my ex husband this morning about all of this, he has actually told me that he didn't know, and had he have known he wouldn't have let her medicate our son with someone elses prescription. He has made it very clear to me that he is every bit as angry as I...

@lovemygod Oh I didn't mean to come across as I thought you were telling me I was shaming him. It was like 1am and I was shattered. I knew you wasn't trying to tell me that. Fingers crossed your daughters appointments come through soon, the waiting times are awful at the minute. Thank you for...

@lovemygod Luckily my son is very medication aware, I take numerous pills that if he were to take them, would land him straight in A&E. He knows not to touch anyone's prescribed medication, but I guess on this occasion his trust for his step mum probably outweighed his sense of danger like...

@porsche Her I now cannot trust, but him I'm not 100 percent sure if he knew or not. I suspect he may not have and just went along with it to protect her. My son is due to go back there in October and he loves his Dad so much. I can't restrict access to his Dad. I would become that parent. I'm...

@porsche I know I am fully within my rights to call the police, and part of me would want to, I just know if I do then it could tear their family unit apart. Social services and fines, maybe prison time depending on the judge. We've always done things mutually, and have never gone through the...

To cut a long story short, myself and my ex husband have been divorced since 2013, we share a child together, a soon to be 12 year old boy whose awaiting testing for ADHD and Autism. For the 6 weeks holiday he went and spent 3 weeks with his Dad and his family (his Wife, and their 4 children...
