To think my ex will take my children away

I have posted before that I am having a breakdown. It's been pretty bad with self harming and suicidal thought.

I had to beg my ex to have them for a few days as I needed to recover and he finally agreed when I spoke to his mum and explained bad as I was.

Yesterday was my daughters birthday and we all went out together, ex included (I should mention he was an abusive husband and now has a new gf). It was a very difficult day and I was emotional as I hadn't seen the kids since last Tuesday. I also was in some diazepam so was a bit spaced out and didn't really talk much and avoided him as much as possible. My parents said I was pretty bad crying and rocking at times but I did my best to hold it together.

Anyway today exh mum phones my mum and said that he wants the children to stay with him longer as I am clearly not in a fit state to care for them and that if I didn't agree he'd take me to court! I messaged him to say ok have them until Tuesday, thanks for the support etc but he said he is worried I won't be any better then, wants to know what meds I'm on etc.

I am now really worried that he won't give them back to me. I am getting lots of help and support and have now thrown the diazepam away.

I can't concentrate on myself when I am so worried he will take my babies and move away with them in with his new gf. If I loose them my life will really be over. I miss them so much.

My parents don't think he wants them as it would ruin his lifestyle but I don't trust him. He lied about having a gf then told our 6 year old, he abused me and still manipulated me now. Can he take them and not give them back? Normally they only see him EOW??
