My kids in care

[damprye]

I have PND and have had my children taken away. They have not been abused and I sought out help. I have to prove that I can be mentally stable for upwards of 6months before they will consider giving them back. My 4yr old is constantly begging them to come home and my 6month old is so sick from the formula that they are giving him that he has had to be hospitalised. What can I do to get my babies back sooner?
All the data they have collected about me being unwell is from my 6week hospital stay and all other data says that I am a brilliant parent, even they admit that. I'm so worried for my boys, they need to come home.

I don't have any advice, but i just wanted to send you a hug.
I hope you can sort it out soon.

I hope you can get some help with your PND and that your two little boys are back home with the mum they love as soon as possible.

Engage with DOCS. Do everything they say. Make sure you take your medication and engage with your mental health professionals.

That's all you can do.

Best wishes.

I second what Divvy mentioned. Make sure you work on yourself to get your self better so that you can get your boys back. It seems like you have done the right thing (although it may not feel like that at the moment) by asking for help. Continue to ask for help and you will find the light at the end of the tunnell.

I think you really need to put yourself first for the next six months. It will be sooo hard but it's what you need to do. Concentrate on getting better. Do it for your little ones and yourself.

As Div said, work with DOCs and any other professionals you are with. I am sure they will give you a plan to follow. Stick with your medication. Keep talking to people and asking for help - and hugs - when you need them.

It will seem impossible but YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!! You are a strong mumma and this will be worth it in the end.

Maybe you could try writing a little letter to your boys every night, telling them how much you love them and your plans for your future together. It's not to send to them, but later, in years to come, it might be something you want to share with them.

You have shown such courage reaching out here. I admire you

Stay strong x

Oh my gosh I can't believe this...I am so sorry but it's so important for you to get strong for them, this is so shocking and such a wake up...for me included. Oh hun, you have my number xxx

[FabFiona]

Listen to Divvy. She is most wise.

[Footsteps]

Omg - Im so sorry. No advice jut huge hugs, love and support x

I went through this last year took 6 months to get the first 2 back another month for the next and then another couple for the last cos hes the hardest, set up a meeting with docs and talk to them about what you nee to do in order to get them back

I've done everything they've asked, all they seem to want me to do right now is to just wait. The referrals for reunification was supposed to be sent off weeks ago, as per the Signs of Safety (SOS) meeting but they still haven't done it.
I'm going to try and write my eldest a book so that he understands a bit better why he can't come home just yet.

[YoYo]

Writing a book, or letter sounds like a good idea.

I've seen way too many episodes of Jeremy Kyle and seen so many kids have questions for their parents later in life after being in care. Writing would be a great way to show how things are, how you feel, and what you feel for them. It could maybe even be a bit of therapy for you too.

Writing always helps me.

Good luck, I really hope it turns around for you soon.

The other posters have all given you wonderful advice I hope that you get your babies back with you soon. It is hard on them now, but they will understand when you tell them you need a little more time to be better

[starangelk]

My heart breaks for you.......I am so sorry you are going through this. Please take the advice of the other posters. Xx

I can't give you any advice, and the ladies in here hve been wonderful. I just wanted to give you so many hugs. xxoo

You have done the right thing asking for help. Are you able to express milk for your DS2? I would hope that delivery of your milk can be facilitated if you are able to provide it. There are plenty of AD's you can take whilst BF or expressing. I hope your boys are home soon.

I'm so sorry to hear you've been in such a bleak and hard place.
