HI I am currently going through court to away with my son for a better life my sons dad has not been involved with my son whos now 7 through his own choices. He has now put an order in stating that I am mentally ill and i cannot look after my son. and he wants him to live with him permanently my son doesnt refer to him as dad. Ive had to get a letter from my GP for the court to see regarding my mental health. I have suffered with depression in the past and self harmed taking too many paracetamol but I put this was a cry for help down to the abuse i receiving from my sons father he was stalking me. this was in 2016 and now we are in 2018 since hes been given warning from the police he stopped harassing me and my life has been alot better and ive had no depression. He knows that i self harmed in the past hes using this to try take my son away from me. He has been on a rehabilitation program after suffering PTSD and he has tried killing himself by stabbing himself and throwing him self in front of a car. Im scared that the court are going to take my child away what is the likely hood of this? social services have been involved only due to his PTSD and that he was a risk and for me to stop contact with him and my son. Im trying to move on with my family and move to a better place for my son to be brought up and hes doing this out of pure selfishness to stop us bettering ourselves and hes not genuine about my sons welfare
