My children were removed by Social Services. AMA

Obviously nothing that could identify us but I'll be as open and as honest as i can be.

Bless you op, what an absolutely horrific time you have had. From losing your eldest two df when second was only four months old. Then with your last child your health problems began which have made you disabled. You then find out your new husbands a paedophile. Then you find out your kids have been abused by their step brother. He then accuses you of abuse and you are arrested. So then you are a single mum of four, disabled, with no family locally to help, and one child who make have a disability. It is no wonder your mental health suffered. I'm not sure many people could of come out that unscathed.

You held your hands up and accepted that the best thing for your children was to go into foster care despite how much that would hurt you. I think that makes you a great selfless mum.

dont be down on yourself op.an dont beleive it might come crashing down.recovery isnt linear. that means you might feel vulnerable or stumble.but you dont have to fall all the way again ok.dont think if you stumble then its a tigger point to be at sqaure one.as you have said things are different now and so are you.you have your techniques and things in placce to be able to manage this now.you have wealth of support to help and you have your own mind now built in a better way to support yourself.
you can do this.it isnt easy and im sure you must still feel frightened and scared many time a day.but your trying.anyone can see that your bloody trying.

@Privatefosterer I understand you are being well meaning by the questions you are asking but they are not appropriate or helpful to be asking the OP.

If you do a search back into the AMA board there is a thread from a Safeguarding Social Worker. This is where you need to be directing your questions.

The thread is ask me anything not argue amongst yourselves.

@Bobbiepin Unlikely. Those issues tend to appear in your teen years. Although not always. Even without disabilities, it's clear OP would still have struggled....
