Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Im the mother of 7 or at least I was. I had my kids full time and I loved it but I struggled with my bipolar. I played with my kids rather than clean the house, they were fed, clothed, loved, taken everywhere they needed to be, drs, dentists, therapists. Family services came through and decided my house was too messy because I hadn't cleaned my walls. They sent the kids back to their father to live. I will be homeless in two weeks as the landlord who is also the kids father evicted me. I have lost my babies and I'm devastated. Family services didnt even give me a chance. I cleaned the house as did my kids as they said they would be back but they never came, just called me in for a meeting with their father and his new wife and told me it was over. My babies left the next day.
We all want what's best for our kids. I hope you can get access to see them again.
I don't have children, but I've lost everything - more than once, its like life sucks, your at the bottom, and boom - have to move, or car accident.... I learned to never say "It can't get worse..." because it can.....
I'm also walking proof it can get better! I also want to remind you, this is just for today - you have not lost your children for life, they did not get sick and die, they are safe - even if not with you!
Life is not fair, but you can get your kids back, sooner or later - also, they love you, and will always love you and be in your life!!!
All this loss, and having to move - I want to share, DO THE NEXT RIGHT THING! Don't go too far back in your head, or too far forward - that will make you worse!
Do the next deicision, the next choice - the next right thing! Sometimes that's eat, sometimes pick up the phone, or DS - sometimes, is go to an appt....
You and your family are in my prayers - this just sucks right now - it is NOT THE REST OF YOUR LIFE _ is a fucked up January 2014
What kind of communication are you allowed to have with your children right now?
Do they have an appeals process for your situation?
I hope you are able to find a new place to live. That's probably where most of your energy should be at this point in time.
Once you do that, start looking into everything you can possibly do to get your kids back, or at least have more access to them than you do right now.
I have no idea how horrible you must feel right now.
Just the thought of what you're going through makes me literally sick to my stomach and filled with fear and horror.
Good luck. This may be the bleakest point in all this.
Start taking the necessary steps to make things better.
I'm so sorry about all this.
(((((Hugs)))))
I curse him and his wife for life .
And I frck mean it !
It may be of comfort to remember that what's happened for now is not permanent -- the right to be with your kids can be legally restored in the future.
thanks all again so much
