My babies dad has tuck my son of me and won’t give him back

[Jbv010285]

On Friday the third of aug my babies Dad tuck my son it was his weekend he told me on the Saturday I wasn’t getting my boy back I did the most stupid thing ever and tuck a overdose I now regret this an no it was down to alcohol and months of mental abuse I do suffer with anxiety and the babies Dad plays on that it’s awful I’m getting the help I need through domestic violence services been to my gp an put myself forward for councilling an therapy social services have been out andone there assessment an said she was happy for my two other kids to remine in my care an also my baby as o was seeking the help I need it’s been 17 days now I haven’t seen my baby for an 8 days since I applied to the courts an Iv still not got a court date police an social services won’t get involved as he is on the birth certificate anybody gone through anything similar?

Please look after yourself. Overdosing and acting as if you can't care for you will not help the courts think you can care for your son. Are you worried about his ability to care for your son?

Forgot to mention my son is only 11 months old to it’s his birthday in 3 weeks

Iv told them his a class a drug user and a drug dealer but because I can’t prove it they don’t care and I no I did something very silly and I do regret it deeply iv see the crisis team an they aren’t worried about me doing it again said I need help with my anxiety which is mostly based round my children I personally think I’m suffering from separation anxiety which iv also seemed help for

If he is unsafe with the baby there's a small chance the police may be of assistance as a concern for safety. However they will probably need some sort of proof. (EG if they go and look for the baby and all seems fine at Dad's they won't remove him, if there's drug paraphernalia hanging about they can do. Can you get hold of the Dad,is he speaking to you? Also bumping this for you as you don't have many replies considering.

What have social services said about the best way to get him back? Is he on the birth certificate? You may have to make an emergency application to family court, I would suggest that you do this today. I am sorry to hear you are having a hard time at the moment. This will pass, stay strong

Sorry, just seen you have already applied to the courts. Was it an emergency, no notice application?

Went to the family courts yesterday got told I should be in court in nxt 14 days but they are pushing for me to be in with in 7 so hopefully get the court date in nxt couple of days social services can’t get involved cos his on birth certificate same with the police but they are looking in to him now it’s been 18 days since I seen my baby boy it’s so so hard but I’m getting help from the right places an right people I just hope I get my baby back soon because this feels so horrible and it’s really affecting my other to daughters can’t imagine what it’s doing to my boy he must be pineing for me an his sisters I am scared he will for get me an out bond will be damaged from all this though

Your baby won't forget about you, don't worry about that. I really hope you get some help in the family court with this and I hope that they take the father's actions into consideration when deciding what happens next.
There is no shame in asking for help if you have anxiety issues but taking an overdose will not help and it won't look good for you in court if further issues arise. You need to be strong for your children even when inside you are crumbling.

Your baby will be fine as long as his Dad is a fit parent, he's too young to really understand. It sounds as if you will have him back soon. Echoing what has been said above, look after your mental health. They will look at it as you may overdose and your children will be left in danger. Make it absolutely known that that was a massive mistake and will not happen again.
