I am a mom of soon to be four children. In the latter half of 04 my life became out of control. Within one year I lost everything I owned due to drugs and depression. In 06 I became pregnant with my beautiful girl but my hormones got the best of me and the harder I tried to pull myself together, life just kept throwing me hard balls. I asked my X to help me with my now 10 year old and explained to him what I had been going through. Instead of helping he used it against me. He got a good lawyer and took advantage of my weak state let my employer at the time know of my ongoings and she helped him to get full custody of my child. I was clean all during this time, just an emotional basket case. There were court hearings that I was never made aware of and therefore I never got the chance to represent myself. Now I realize I just need to see my son on regular visits, not at a nurturing center, and that all that previous stuff doesnt matter. I have let time fly bye because I was hoping all that I had lost would come back over night. Im just looking at these forms and Im lost! I am a wonderful mom and a great person I am just tired of time passing seeing my son cry on our monthly visitation and I never deserved any of this. I just need to quit whining and do something! Someone please help!

Don't know about layers but to fight your case you need proof of change
Find and attend meeeting of helping users, church, ask the school to notify you of meetings PTO shows etc, help with sports,volunteer Do anything to show that you are trying to get better even medical care if needed.

Contact your local Legal Aid office. they do not charge for their services and I am sure they can help ypu understand and forms you may have signed. They will help you as long as you show you are willing to help yourself. I wish you the best.
I am responding because I saw my stepdaughter's mom go through something very similiar, the best advice I can give you is to pray everyday and don't give up. Get involved in a church for moral support and a sense of community. I dont know your financial situation or your status on a career, but I highly recommend accounting. It is very stable, there is always work, it pays very well, and it's not hard. I started as an entry level accounting clerk with a staffing agency called Accounttemps as a teenager and I am now a very capable mom of 24. Keep faith that you will recoup your son and never give up. Your kids notice everything you do, and they notice that you try! So please dont give up. :)
