anyone had kids taken from them through SH

[eeyores friend]

As the title says, just wondering if anyone has had there kids taken oof them because they have self harmed and/or overdosed.

I lost my son 2 years ago through this. After spending time in a pysch hospital i came out to be told i wouldnt be getting my son back. He lives with his dad and i was granted supervised contact which has been on and off most of the time because of how I have been and at moment not seen him since August and trying to fight through solicitors to get some contact again but not getting anywhere.

Is there anyone who could relate to this. I feel so alone as most of my friends i met when i had my son and they dont understand coz they still have there kids with them and they dont know what to say.

not directly to me, but i have known it to happen.

sorry not much help, but it does happen. If you commit to getting better with supervision, they have to give you another try at mommyhood.

Just received the copy of a letter Ex's solicitor sent to mine. Now Ive read it it seems so much more worse.



"Our client is not agreeable for any contact to resume between your client and jack at the present time. We understand that your client has made a further suicide attempt resulting in her cutting the tendons to her arms and having to undergo an operation due to the damage inflicted upon herself.

Our client further instructs us that Jacks school have raised real concerns regarding the effect your clients contact would have upon Jack.

Our client is therefore not agreeable to your proposal of contact commening at the contact centre nor is our client agreeable to attending mediation to discuss matters further"



HOW THE HELL DOES HE KNOW ABOUT ME CUTTING MY WRIST!!!! And what the hell do the school know. Jack was entirely happy when he last saw me and wasnt affected in any way. If anything its my ex affecting him by stopping contact every two mins. I feel like we are hitting a brick wall and I dont see any further forward.

(((eeyores friend))) I've never had my son taken from me by CPS, but when my son was an infant my parents felt (and I consented) that perhaps it would be best if they temporarily cared for him. It's tremendously painful. It is a burden of shame, guilt, regret, fear. In the end it worked out alright. My son and I were permanently reunited about two and a half years ago.

No experience here I'm afraid, but I have seen it happen to many people sadly.

I hope you manage to come to a solution that works for you and your boy...

Im so sorry to hear you lost full time care of your son too. How long did your parents keep your son for and did you still get to see him often??? How old was he and does he remember now that you were apart from him for that period of his life???
