tiny scared voice says hello

[humanbean]

Hello all.

First posting under this topic. Newly "single".
H gone.
Terrified.
Does it get better?
When?
Have ds. Baby.

It does sound very much like her, doesn't it? Same career, similar situation. Apparently, that poster asked for the thread to be reoved as someone in RL had recognised her from it. I'm just trying to get my head around how OP's DS came to be taken away from her in the way she described. Can't quite see how that could happen.

I know. I wasn't trying to "out" her, but both posters seemed very unhappy and I just hope they could get some help.

HB you must get yourself a specialist family law solicitor. Now. Today. This must be your first priority. They will advise you on whether you can challenge the EPO or not.

Obviously we can't get thge full story on here but it is possible that the OP is in such severe emotional distress that she is not capable of looking after her baby properly at present. Dom't forget the flurry of recent cases of social workers being blamed for not intervening...

Find a solicitor. Find a solicitor.

There are lots of horror stories about misunderstandings that can take ages to unravel.

Madamez, I'd be in severe emotional distress if someone tried to take my dd away from me, but it wasn't social workers, was it? It was four carloads of police, apparently. I am horrified at what the OP is going through and really, really hope she is OK and has her ds back now. But I still can't see how this has happened.

BNBH: I think there is more going on here than we know about (but SS would have to have been involved for there to be a protection order).

Arse, sorry, don't know what happened there.

As I said, I really hope the OP and her ds are OK and I don't doubt that she's going through a horrendous time. I'm pretty sure the OP has posted here before under another name and I had the feeling then, as I do now, that the threads almost ran like the plot of a book, almost like research? Maybe it's just because both OPs are journos and simply have that writing style. I'm not being unsympathetic, or in any way wanting to upset anyone, particularly the OP.

Flame throwers, obviously.

I am confused, and this has been nagging at the back of my mind. HB said in an early post on this thread 'Ds reassuringly asleep upstairs' and then that her baby had been taken away. Are there two children?

Is she OK? Has anyone heard anything?

From what I've read, both on this thread and an earlier one, HB has one baby boy. I think that he was upstairs asleep on Friday night/Saturday morning, when this thread started, but was taken on Sunday night.

Call me credulous but I do genuinely believe HB. A RL friend of hers is a MNer (she was on the other thread) and did email me and tell me that HB was doing okay in all the circumstances.

I'm sure this whole story is far more complicated than we can know. My heart goes out to any mother (and HB by all accounts - not just hers - is a loving mother) whose child has been taken away.

I hadn't realised the thread carried over a few nights, I only saw it last night. This is the first time I have let MN concerns worry me in RL. I hope it all works out, I really do.

I agree QC there is stuff going on that we don't know about and I am not criticising the OP, just suggesting that (from some of her postings) she sounds as though she could be in such a bad way that she can't care adequately for a baby at present. Not eating, not sleeping, obsessive thoughts: if there is no one else close by who is able to step in and support her (ie her mother or a close friend) then outside intervention may have been needed.

sadly Madamez I think you are right. We can all appreciate that for once SS seem on top of it.
I just hope that they are not going to be overzealous in a situation that does not seem to warrant intervention compared to obvious neglect/abuse we all heard about.

Humanbean,please don't let this discussion deter you from coming back here. We are just concerned about your welfare and that of your baby. If you can not cope, we will certainly provide emotional support and hopefully practical too.

Some posts are a bit judgmental, or you feel they are that's because we care for your baby too and we don't have the full picture. It's more than ok feeling and being unable to cope in the situation you describe.
Hang in there, you just need a little bit more strenght to organise some backup to care for baby so you can start concentrating on forgetting the bastard

Hi HB, I hope your ok. Please post when you get the chance. You know how unbelievable your story is, thats why you are in so much pain and shock, try to keep that in mind when people doubt your story. If everyone who was feeling like you do now had their babys taken away, there would be a helluva lot of babys in care. Stay strong.

What news, AB

no news, good news hopefully

Ds home now. Panel meeting yesterday. He was brought home straight after. It did sound unbelievable I know. It has felt totally unbelieveable. And frightening. But DS well, happy and seems oblivious. He is all that counts on the planet to me.

Oh fantastic news, well done all. Good stuff.

I have been following, watching and waiting for good news. Sounds like it was quite drawn out for you in the end. I am really glad that you are back together again. I hope that you are feeling ok.

Oh thank goodness for that!

Have been checking this thread at every available opportunity hoping for good news
