Looking after and caring for Robert Checksfield was always my main priority. I was more ashamed then surprise when he left me. Twelve weeks after he left me I met Graham Young, I became a shoulder for him to cry on. Grahme kept telling me that I was wonderful his compliments lifted my sagging morale. I wasn’t accustomed to being praised and taken out for meals to some of the finest restaurants on the island. I was very fond of Grahme we had most things in common his mother died when he was ten years old and I grew up not knowing my mother. I was raised by my grandmother while Grahme was raised by his father. He had good manners and I thought that he was the perfect gentleman. Grahme had a dark side he was insanely jealous of my family he referred to my grandchildren as little shits and told me not to answer the phone when my daughter rang. Grahme was nothing more than a control freak. I had become depended on him, he helped with the shopping. He went back to Southhampton early on Tuesdays returning to the island on Thursdays. He always phoned.I didn’ have his number I could never contact him. He didn’t ring me for three days. I wasn’t too worried when I hadn’t heard from him, however, he did ring to say that he didn’t want to see me anymore. I couldn’t ring Grahme but I knew that he played bingo on a Sunday night, I rang the bingo hall asking them to give him a message. I could not believe that Grahme Young would stoop as low as he did, he reported me to the police. Three days later the police came to my house, Grahme Young had reported me for harassing him. I invited the police indoors and I was absolutely distraught I cried so much I thought that I was never going to stop. I felt that I was falling down a bottomless pit moving house Robert leaving me and Grahme kicking me when I was at my lowest point proved too much for me. The police made a decision that I was in no fit state to care for my twin grandsons. They called children services and my grandson was taken away in the back of a police van. It was one of the worse days of my life watching the police literally dragging my screaming grandson down the road. My neighbours complained of the police brutality towards my grandson. My other grandson was in Norway oblivious to the drama taking place at home. I was worried as the boys didn’t like being apart and now one of them was with a compleat stranger. I was almost sectioned but Hayley pleaded with the doctor that I should go back to her house. It was decided that I stayed with my daughter for a while. The big problem was that the boys had ten chickens I couldn’t just leave them. It wasn’t at all funny but I found it amusing watching the police trying to catch the chickens they were unsuccessful they ended up covered in chicken poo. The following day I was asked by children services to see a psychiatrist who confirmed that I had no capabilities. my beloved grandchildren were taken into care by children services. It was an awful time for me. Robert and his family were gloating but the boys are doing very well at school. The foster carer can offer the education and open doors for them that I couldn’t. I moved to the Isle of Wight because the boys had been sent to special needs schools. I always felt that the children should never have been sent there. The boys are doing well in mainstream one of them has been moved to a higher class for his maths. yes, I believe in fate if I hadn’t met Grahme young my life and my grandchildren would be so different. by Dorothy Maude
