My kids were removed from my care today and I'm not okay.

I have never neglected them.
I have never abused them
I have never restricted food or such.

They removed them because I'm not being ontop with headlice (3 kids with long thick hair is hard) and my house.
They have concerns for them in my care while I'm mentally struggling.
And my ex.

My ex I am cutting out instantly.
My house was pretty bad but she said I cannot see or talk to my kids for 30 days until a order is in place.

I am not coping okay.
I instantly fixed my house issue within hours of them leaving. She said that it's not going to help and I still need to ride the 30 days out.

I want my kids home.
What do I ask her?

I asked if I see my doctor and keep my house ontop can I have them back. She said "no a judge will decide that in 30 days" and I'm just crying none stop.

At school drop I promised my 6yo a mummy daughter date and to think of what she's like to do tomorrow.
If I had known that was the last time I'd see them for a month I wouldn't of rushed my 4yo into kindy. I wouldn't of had my daughter walk the school gates alone. I would of done slot I'd things different.

I'm struggling to keep going.

I have never neglected them

Allowing your house to be in a state and not getting on top of headlice IS neglect.

I presume SS have been involved for a while and You haven't took their advice?

I am sorry you are going through this. Are you in the UK?
I had SS involvement many years ago due to the condition of my house, however my dc were only removed for a week and even then I was allowed to see them, just not in my house.

You have to do everything they ask of you. No matter how pointless and petty it seems. They say "jump", you say "how high."
I know it hurts. I know it's hard. But it's the only way to solve it. Work with them.

You would have had time before to get the house sorted though op and you didn’t do it

And your posting history is a bit alarming, why are you ttc a fourth child via a sperm doner when you can’t cope as you are?

Dandy0911 · 23/08/2021 15:08

I'm sorry you're going through this. But as PP said, your previous thread from July said you're TTC from a sperm donor.
Also from your previous threads you say your house is trashed (To be fair, it was in those pictures,) and you can't cope. I mean this kindly, why the hell would you try for baby number 4?

Not getting on top of headline and a trashed house is neglect. From the pictures of your house on your old thread, all the things stacked up high and on the sides can't all be from 3 young children? Can they reach that high?

You need to do everything SS say. You need to be willing do everything little thing. I'm so sorry you're going through this but it really doesn't seem to add up? This along with the TTC?

They didn’t just come today and take them, they will have been involved for a while and you haven’t resolved their concerns. It sounds like things are chaotic at home, I would see your GP if you need some help with your mental health.

I’m sorry, I understand you must be very upset but you need to work with them, I hope things turn around for you.
