Crisis family update!
News is still a bit vague but it looks like this week the mum has taken herself and the 2 children out of the crisis centre early and have gone back to their old flat! She's not been happy there for a while so we are not that surprise she has left.
We are of course worried about them as the dad has been in contact with the family during the past weeks and so there is always the danger that he will return to the family home. The mum is starting to change her mind about the criminal charges against her husband and even though the charges cannot be dropped if she withdraws her statement the verdict could be very different.
We have heard that she has found a new flat but we don't know any more information about that yet.
This is the frustrating part of our work as it is possible that after all the help and support the mum has been given within a few months she could (we pray of course that she wont) but could be back in the same situation again.
So not the best of news but that's where we are with them at the moment!
