I was wondering if I can make a call anonymously but wasn't certain whether they'd be able to trace the number. I actually have a friend who's a family law specialist, so I might have a chat to her. I imagine she'd have a fair idea where I would stand.

The mother seems to call about once a week to say she'll be back next week instead. I haven't tried speaking with her yet, but if she doesn't come home this weekend I'm going to ask the boys for her number and call her. I've told C to tell her she needs to come home because he can't cope, but I'm not sure that he will be as...what's the word...forceful? as he should be.

Quite frankly, from my perspective it's about the kids. I really don't give a rats if she gets the shits with me. If she really is any sort of parent she'll realize I'm doing and saying the things I am out of concern for her children. I'm just really amazed that any parent can do these sorts of things.
