I can't take it

As you know I lost my kids two months ago, DHS took them and gave them to their father, I have 7 kids all to the same man. Anyway their father is only allowing me to see my kids 2hrs a week. I can't take it. My children cry on the phone to me every night, they miss me and I miss them so much. I lost them because of an untidy house. I did everything else for them, took them to the dentist, the dr, psychologists, emergency rooms, went to all school activities. I cant see the point of going on. It's so hard to be strong for them and reassure them when I am dying inside

That sucks. Doesn't DHS establish visitation? I know this is painful so whatever would help would be good.

Don't lose hope. You're kids need you emotionally, even if they don't see you that often. They're not going to forget your love for them.
And this situation won't last forever.
Can DHS set the visitation times instead of your husband? There must be some legal ground you can stand on.

Though I know it may be hard, your kiddos still need your support even if you aren't physically there. (This is coming from a daughter of a mother who committed suicide when I was just 9 years old) Is there a way to prove to DHS you've it dyed up your house to get them back or a way to go before a judge to get ordered more time with your children. I can't imagine a judge saying no to that. Keep your head up and stay strong for your children and remember they love you regardless.

Warm Wishes,
Heather

I am so sorry you are going through this. I can't even imagine how hard it must be. But don't lose hope and remember your children need you to be strong for them. It seems like there should be some legal action you can take to get at least full week-ends with them and DHS shouldn't be able to just take them away permanently over your home. . I hope things get better and you get to see them more and when you can get the house in order surely they will let you have them back. Big Hugs!!
