| Contacted his family Hiya,
As some of you might have seen, i asked whether i should contact FOB's family or g/f well i decided against going to the g/f and start ww3, and i messaged his sister and this is what i put, i have blanked out his name
Hi,
I know you don’t know me directly, but I’m assuming you are aware of who I am and the situation? Although I don’t know how much .... has let people know, however, as we all changed numbers due to the circumstances and to save a lot of hurt and upset I cannot get in touch with him. I feel I should let someone in his family know that his daughter is here. She was born on 11th September 2009 and I called her Hollie-Eve.
I understand and totally appreciate that it is a difficult situation but I feel at least now I have done my part in letting the other half of Hollie’s family know, and hope in the future a civil agreement/arrangement can be reached so that .... and his family are able to be part of Hollie’s life. I have gone through the CSA as per .... wishes so he should be hearing from them some time soon.
The last thing I want to do is put you in a difficult situation so I do not expect a reply back but simply ask if you could pass the message onto .....
Thank you.
Lauramarie
I said about his family being incontact with Hollie, so they cant say i didnt say it etc xxx | | | | Status: Offline

| Good for u hun. Sounds very grown up, mature, and civilised. At least u took the adult way about it and dealt with it in an appropriate manner.
Hopefully everything works out the way u want them to. But u can always have a clear mind that u did what was needed and took the rite action.
Well done hun.  | | | | Status: Online
