Just a coincidence?

Comment Published at 00:3800:3824 comments24 comments46 Visits46 VisitsReport

Or did it do more damage than it was first thought? As manyy of you know Kylie isnt my daughter naturally. When Kylie was born it wasnt because her mother was in labour it was a matter of getting her out before it was too late . She was born with paracetamol and anti depressants inside her . She was lucky to survive. She was born at 2 Ib 13 oz . She was n intensive care and it was thought she would not stay alive for 24 hours. But she is a strong cookie and she pulled through. She was intensive care for 3 months all in all . When she could finally go home. Barry had to go to court to get a residence order. Can yopu believe that the childs father the mother had moths before told the hospital that yet without entering the court he couldent take his own daughter home. She was the tiniestt thing i had ever seen.

But why all this ? Kylie was born through Csection her mother was 7 months pregnant when she decided she didnt want her child. Barry didnt even know for sure she was pregnant the only clue he had was her period was way overdue and getting fat but she wouldent do a test. So she was 28 weks confirmed but an emergency scan. After she took a packet of anti depressants and a bottle of paracetamol and took a 24 hour walk . She was found walking in the road bareffoted miles away. Barry had to make a big decision. If it came to the crunch and only 1 of them could be saved which would he prefer they save. Of course he chose Kylie who wouldent? Her mother was sectioned to a mental instutution. she spent the first 6 months of kylies life there .

4 weeks of her being home barry met this woman andi (she was a bitch) we didnt get along very much so i usually visited when she was at work. She was a nurse. She kindo f took over kylie barry wasnt allowed toso anything with her. She wasnt allowed tosee her mother WTF??? . Anyway Barry took my advioce adventually and left her. She kept all of kylies stuff and wouldent return it . She demanded to have mothers rights . Reported barry to social services police all sorts kylie had nothing .

Barry and Kylie were rehoused into a family hostel where i later moved in with them . Kylie barely saw her mother . Whe n she did she would come bakc hungry and dirty and often cut and bruised.

Adventually we movbed to devon as i needed to escape my family my step father wasnt a very nice person and i didnt want kylie brought uparound that. In the last 4 years her mother has visited 3 times . Never alone always with friends. Her last visit she took kylie to the rainbow house for the whole of 2 hours 2 hours is all she got to replace the last 12 months. She cameback i looked ut my kitchen window and i pointeed oiut to myit  friend becky swhe had downed 2 cans of beer . She practically ignored her all day .When it came to bath time she put her in 2 cold baths and i mean freezen cold kylie was 23 years old 2 years on she still remembers like it was yesterday. She has messed her head up alot in trhe last 3 and a half years we have lived here now she doesent have any contact with her .

Ive had alot of behaviour probllems with Kylie bringing kylie up has been a constant battle . I aways thought she was doing well at school . U ntil yesterday seems she is struggling inb alot of areas im left wondering if all this has effected her brain i know it sounds razy but i just dont know anymore

Anyway i will stop rambling on i just think its too much of a coincidence she is strugling so muvch in school. Anyway i better go Kylie wants cbeebies website on .

Re: Just a coincidence?

I think that Kylie has a lot of emotional scars that run very deeply... Whether or not she was affected by her traumatic birth and subsequent time in hospital.  It is worth seeking further tests if you feel that there might be a chance, perhaps you could discuss with the head of her school?  There may be a series of tests or a centre for testing that they can refer you to.

Jaydee always shocked us with his comprehension skills, awareness and understanding of what is going on around him... Even at 8mths, I jokingly said, 'why don't you crawl over to that pen, pick it up and take it out to the office for Daddy..."  I went back to reading my book and was shocked when he scooted past me with a big grin on his face, and went to the office to give the pen to Daddy.

Kylie is very bright and sensitive, I am sure that she is deeply affected by the abandonment of her mother and subsequent confusion from when her mother wanted to see her and didn't turn up or call etc.  There has been a lot of turmoil in your life recently with losing the baby as well, all of these things add up.  Perhaps some one on one time with a counselor or tutor could benefit her too... Just so you can all get your feet on the ground and be on the same page together ready to move forward.

You are the best mum she will ever have, your concern and care are very real, so don't be afraid to take action now rather than later. xox

WE LOVE Kylie (Lui & Jay, the Fairy Princess Kylie Club) xoxox

Re: Just a coincidence?

Hey Matey ,

I think its a mix of scars from her birth and the way her mother has treated her also the paracetomol , anti depressants as well as being an alcoholic . I cant do much tomorrow as im up the hosp but i will be chatting to her teacher. I have to see my doc tuesday asnyway so i will discuss it with hwer also. Hopefully she will getr her asssessed.

Its amazing how much they actually take in and understand. You just dont realise most of the time.Today Kylie was talking about before i had chloe and i had to go to hospirtal she was talking of the time i had to have my opersation to have my tube pulled out my pelvis shocking really that was nearly 3 years ago she was only 2.

You know what her mother is like phone if an wen she wants a daughter again and it does really confuss kylie . She did call today 1st ti,me since a few days before kylies birthday and that was a txt i ddidnt answer though she doesent need it at the moment besides kylie told her she didnt want to speak to her at the moment. . Then there was me loosing te baby even sometimes now she gets confussed abnd thiunks im still pregnant i have to remind her. She doesent get why the baby got sick either . I told her that baby got sick so thats why i hafd to *go to the hospital to get it out so the baby can go to heaven a bit hard for a 5 ear old to understand its the only way i cou;ld explain it to her,.But hopefully the assessment will help us to guide whats going on with her.

Unofrtunatly her mother doesent care about much and that includes her daughter but she is missing out i have the most aawesome little girl weathwer her mother sees it or not i do and i love her for what she is. No matter what she doees

Much Love to my wonderful kiwi's XXXXXXX

Re: Just a coincidence?

Emmie, you are Kylie's saviour!!!! The simple fact that you haven't given up on her (some people would!) and you are continuing to fight for her shows us all what a wonderful person you are. What you are doing is a truely selfless act. It takes a very strong person to love a child that is not biologically there's. Kylie had a horrible start to life BUT she is now in the care of someone who gives a dam. Someone willing to go into bat for her and that my friend is going to make to the world of difference. It will be a tough road but I know you know it's something worth fighting for. Kylie is so lucky to have you in her life. Keep fighting on Emmie and we will all be right beside you to help as much as we can.

Re: Just a coincidence?

No i wont ever give up on her she is worth so much more than that. Kylie isnt my daughter biologically but whats a bit of writting? physically and emotionlly she is MINE. Ask Kylie who she belongs to she wil say my mummy.Or she would poke her tongue out at you in embarrassment and slowly hide behind me LOL.She had a crap start to life and i am determined to make sure she has a happy future. Kylie is difficult alot of the timebut i wouldent change her for the world . I will do anything to help that little girl beat this and i know she will because she is a tough cookie and my little survivor.her mother has alot to answer for

Re: Just a coincidence?

Emmie I have only been on MINTI a short time and I have seen your comments and support for other members throughout the site. (including my own!!) I am so sorry to hear that things have been so tough lately. Your Kylie is probably gonna carry the scars, as the other Mums have said, and she is probably gonna test your love (I work with teens from very similar back grounds as your Kylie), but ultimately your love and support will help her to face the demons from her past and to develop all the learning skills she needs. As long as you are there taking an interest and working with her to develop her learning she will progress. She's still very young and you are so strong. I know you can do it together

Re: Just a coincidence?

Hi Katie ,

Welcome to Minti i hope you are enjoying it it can get very addictive LOL. I guess things havent really been the best lately but i am working on working through them. Yes i think she carries scars she remembers the bath thing and that was a year ago just over what else does she remember? I was only 18 when i took her on and didnt really have much experience with children and since kylie was 2 the terriblke 2's have never ended but i saw her report yesterday and it broke my heasrt i laid awake most of the night i couldent stop thinking it was because of this . Also yesterday she smacked me in the chest because i tried to help her on the computer and she was frustrated she couodent d o it. I jusrt want the best for her i want to know if its connected and i intend to find out . I know she isnt my child but i have hads her for over 4 years now and i love her alot more than her mother could ever love her if she did she wouldent do this to her.She is just an innocent child. Thanx .

Re: Just a coincidence?

Awww Emz, I felt so sad reading that..

You know what?
You have been a better mother to Kylie, than her biological mother could ever be to her..

Every child begins life with some sort of hang up, but it's how they get through that pain, that makes them the person that they become..
Alisha began life with jaundice, an infection, and being far too underweight..
But now she walks around, follows me to the toilet (LOL), and has got a milk gut. lol

My point is, scars may not fade, but with your guidance, I am sure that Kylie will turn out fine..
She is a wonderful little girl, and with a wonderful mother like you, she has a great future ahead of her!!

Don't ever blame yourself for what Kylie went through.. It is not your fault at all..
You are doing your best to give Kylie the best life..
And if anyone can get through this "hang up", it is you and Kylie !!

Hey, and don't worry about the ramble, I do it ALL THE TIME.. LOL
(You've seen my blogs :P hahaha)

Do take care Emz..
And know that everyone here on Minti, including me, believes in you, and knows that Kylie will be ok in the end :)

Thinking of you and your family,
Thuy xox

Re: Just a coincidence?

Sorry Thuy it makes me sad too.

Funy you say that as thjats what i told her mother last time i spoke to her after she called me a bad mother and said i took her child away. If she didnt try top kill her i wouldent have needed to.

Kylie has pulled through in stregnths which shock me. When she was a baby she could sit in my hand and not even come half way up my arm now she is nearly the biggest in her class . Though it seems her behaviour and also her learning is lackuing its like she is still going through terribnle 2's but a bit worse. 

I am mad the school havent brought her learning difficultiers to my attention sooner but i guess now i know its time to deal with it i have to see my doc tuesday so i will discuss this also .Maybe i can get her assessed or something. 

I have done everrything in my power to help kylie buty its time to admit there is a problem . She is a strong kid and i know with the right help and guidence she will get throughthis and i will help her as much as i can.

Yeah i ramble all the time i get carried away and dont know when to stop haha.

All of your guys support is just amazing and i apreciate it so much . She will get through this i know she will it will just take time and alot of work.

Re: Just a coincidence?

Yes i am her mum 110% Even if me and barry were to split i will still be her mum and still be as involved as what i am now . She actually calls her mother mother and me mummy she hates it but thats her own tough luck i hate that woman so much for how she has ruined the beginning of kylies life. i cant change the past but i can make sure her future is brighter and i think any child deserves that chance.

Re: Just a coincidence?

Premature babies have a higher risk of learning difficulties and behaviour problems as well as other developmental delays. I would take her to see someone and get medical advice. Your local doctor might be able to refer you to a paediatrician who could help Kylie out.

Re: Just a coincidence?

It breaks my heart to know of the start in life she had.....all children deserve the very best life has to offer and these poor excuses for parents never give a thought for their unborn children......I've seen some very sad stories in my life and yes she will have some  battles to face but I know and Kylie knows that you will be there right beside her the whole way.......Arna is right, you are her Angel!

Re: Just a coincidence?

its heartbreaking isnt it? i dont know how she sleeps at night. She doesent deserve to be a mother . If there is anything wrong with kylie i blame her mother110%. If she remembers the cold bat i wonder what else she remembers. But no matter what hapens i will always be here to help her pick up the pieces. no matter what it takes. Now her mother will miss out on a beautiful funny little girl and she has nobody to blame but herself .

Re: Just a coincidence?

there could be some scars and some could be coincidence if that makes sense ems .

i know you have been through so much lately but yourve done such a fantastic job .

just keep giving her TLC she is so fragile with what has happened. there are probably moments that she is worried about losing you. there are probably moments too that when you are trying to teach her right from wrong that she feels unloved that is natural all you can do is keep loving her as you have been.

ems i hope you are receiving lots of love because you deserve it 

cheers annie

Re: Just a coincidence?

Yes i understand what you mean annie. I think it could be a mixture too.

Thanx annie it hasnt been the easiest but i am now getting the councelling i need so hopefully things will start getting better soon.

Its like her terrible 2's have never gone away only got worse . LKike if i tell her off she immidiatly wants a cuddle so she knows i still love her so i have to remind her when she is naughty she is told off and sometimes punnished depending on what it is and until that is dealt with there is no cuddle then after she says sorry we hasve a big hug and a kiss . But she knows its the same for her sister. but no matter what happens she knows i love her and she knows she can talk to me about absolutly everything and anytrhing.

Re: Just a coincidence?

I have nothing but admiration for you the way you have mothered Kylie, you ar the only mother she really knows and one day will thank you for all you have done for her.

I agree with you, that children remember far more than we give them credit for, I'm sometimes stunned by some of the things that my boys come out with, things I always thought I had protected them from.

You are Kylie's constant and although the scars are always going to be there for her, knowing she has you will be what keeps her balanced, but I fear there are always going to be those times when memories affect her thinking and her behaviour, all you can do is continue loving her

Re: Just a coincidence?

Kylie to me is MY daughter although i didnt give birth to her i love her like i do my own daughter and i am there for her no matter what. Im sure when she is old wenough she will appriciate it and if she really wants to she can contact her mother i wiill even go with her if its truely what she wants.

Its amamzing what they remember she remembers things that happened in swindon she was just under 2 she remembers the cold baths like it was yesterday. Children see alot more than we are aware of.

I was awake all night last night and i really do think that her behaviour and the learning tihng with her concentration i think it is connected to her mother. I wish i could make it all go away for her but i dont think that is goinmg to happen.

You know that you are THE best thing in Kylies life. There is always going to be doubt with her start in life and just how much it has effected her, but you know that you and Barry are fantastic and will always do the best by her.
You are brilliant.
