    Hi Graig, You have to hang on for your children. 15 yrs have past now and it is no longer in your ex-wifes hands to stop you from seeing your children. That must be your first priority. Do you know anyone who knows her and can ask where she is. If you have an idea of which area she lives then you can look her up on the electoral register kept in the library for that area. I think if you pay on line you can get access to finding someone through sites. She may have remarried so the search will be more difficult.It clearly means a lot to you to see them again.

    As you have a history of suicial attempts are you not under your local Psychiatric team. If you are in difficulty with this doctor, have you tried a different doctor in the surgery. They can have different opinions.

    Its difficult to say anymore because I don't know why the solicitor was so negative or why your doctor is being un supportive

    If you are unable to work because of your depression Craig, then your doctor really should give you a sick note.

    What do you do for a living?

    Have you spoke to your GP about your

    Depression? Are you on any medications?

    I'm shocked your solicitor told you to end

    Your court case. There are ways of finding

    Them like the electoral register, word of

    Mouth from friends and family, do you have

    Facebook? If so you can look on there.

    There is also television, you may not want

    To but appeal on JK they are brilliant at

    Finding family! I hate how mothers use

    The kids as weapons its barbaric! I'm a

    Mother and if my husband and I were to

    Split I would never stop him seeing his

    Babies. When you do locate your special

    Babies there may be some questions

    They they will want you to answer,

    As for your sick note you could get a

    Self certificate (ask at the reception)

    Fill it out and hand to the job centre.

    It will Las 7 days then your GP should

    Write one, I shouldn't say this but you

    Could say its your back rather than

    Depression (she should do it) good

    Luck in locating your children

    I will be praying for you and thinking

    Of you.

    Kate.
