Alessandra, In the hope that you are reading this thread....
Please be assured that NOBODY here thinks what you have been through is ok.
Many many of us have been through Mental Health crises, many of us have had social services intervention as a result.
None of us would wish the outcome that has unrolled to be your reality.
But you must understand, that, as much as we sympathise and want to support you in this hideous time in your life, we would all have preferred for your privacy to be respected, and that of your children.
Our disagreement with John Hemmings is not about you. Honestly. Its about how he has manipulated so many vulnerable families for his own needs.
I wish I could say with all honesty I know the TRUTH behind your story. But of course I cannot.
I just want you to know that I feel so very very sad for you, and your babies. And want the best outcome for all of you. However hard it might be to go through.
No one doubts the love you have for your children, or that you wanted, with all your heart, to be able to take care of them yourself.
For that I commend you. But also please understand that many of us also know how debilitating mental health issues can be, and how they can, despite OUR DEEPEST DESIRES mean we cannot care for our children in a way that they deserve. Sometimes, tragically, love is just not enough.
If ever you want to post here please do. We will support you. Not perhaps in a fantasy way of regaining your children, but certainly in a real, and ongoing way that maybe could provide you a way to move forward.
