It worries me that people will be scared to admit they have depression due to the fear ss will take away your away. My grand children were given up for adoption who by ss I would get to have contact with but never did the ss fabricated lies had a psychologist mention a person that my daughter never even knew or heard of had brought her child hood when she had depression as a teenager but changed after having children had a health visitor who stated she did not look after her children only by othere family members which was not me but her evidence suddenly disappeared by ss and said she was unfit to look after children as a young mum she was same age as me when I had my first I also had depression which my mother had before me just seems that they seem to penalise someone who has depression which was diagnosed by mental health who said she was not crazy like ss Made her out to be but that won't get her children back she asked to appeal but was or she could not with out evidence she has had her world taken from her and then has to explain to her to boys if ever sees them again it was ss who took them from her because she had depression it's so wrong so if people dont come out about depression and suffer in silence this is one if the reasons why because instead of offering support like there suppose to just find it easier to take the children instead.

Hi lovemyfam I'm sorry to hear that this has happened to you and your family. MN is a fantastic forum full of people who will be able to offer you support and advice.

However, could I suggest that you maybe go over your post and edit it a bit as it is very difficult to understand exactly what has happened because large parts of it don't make any sense.

Obviously English may not be your first language or you may struggle with your writing. If this is the maybe you could get someone else to look over your post, it would be worth doing so that you can access the support available here.

I have seen people do terrible things to others bacause of their depression, It's a terrible illness.

Did they not ask you to care for children?

Removing children is a last resort and a court order must have been granted. Children don't get removed because of depression alone, there must have been other factors involved. Sorry you have been through this, I assume you couldn't look after the children?

I am sorry you have had such a rough time op but Ss can't just remove children because their mother has a mental health problem. It has to be because the children's needs are consistently not being met and they are being put at risk of harm in some way.

I hope you can find some answers and some support both for yourself and your daughter. How is she now?
