How would I go about getting help to write a book or story? posted (3 months, 2 weeks) ago
I’ve considered writing a story about how my daughters and I were separated during my divorc…
Talking helps. Tell a friend, tell a therapist, tell someone how you are feeling. You need to reach out so you don’t feel alone anymore. Hugs

Thank you all for your responses. Every little idea or advice is helpful and welcome. I have been considering contacting social services even though I’m concerned about what their father’s recourse will be. I believe I do have a leg to stand on if he changes his mind because he basically just dumped them on me one day, due to some issues at home with them and his wife. (trust me I’m not complaining, I’m glad that my girls are with me) But it is still a concern. Apparently DCFS was involved, and the girls both expressed they wanted to live with me. Their father got tired of dealing with DCFS and that is when he decided to let them come live with me.
I’m going to do my best to keep my chin up and pray this will work out. (keep your prayers coming, please?)

Thank you for your prayers. That means a lot to me. As far as social services. I have considered it. I am a little afraid of contacting them because I’m sure they will go after my ex for child support. I know he won’t be happy about that. I am so afraid he will try to take the children back. I’m determined I’m not going to let that happen, but as you know, without resources, my power is limited at the moment. He brought all of the children’s things, beds, everything, over the weekend, and pretty much dumped them on me without giving me any legal authority for them. I know I definitely have some research to do. Regardless of the unpleasant things I’m going through, I’m still so happy my babies are home. It has been a wonderful Mother’s Day gift.

As hard as it was for you to leave him, I think that was your first step into your own reality. You are not defeated, you are giving life back to yourself one step at a time. I have been there. I can honestly relate to what you are going through. While I was with my partner it was a constant struggle of love/hate. I loved him and hated his addiction. Finally, I just couldn’t take it anymore. It wasn’t easy, it was a process to get over him and move on, but I’m better for it. You will be too, in time.

What you say is true. A positive attitude can’t hurt. Thank you for responding. I have to believe this happened for a reason, I just wish, for my children’s sake, that it was under better circumstances. My best to your family as well.
