He doesnt want to be close to her anymore cause he said Im going to let her end up in foster care Cause im not doind anything So then he hates me to I am trying to do all I can but I end up crying after she leaves I dont know where to turn anymore and have even thought od trying to OD again to get out of all this

Dump your boyfriend? Your daughter means more to you then him. That will help ease some stress. Why was she taken away? Find a way to get her back. Lawyers are money hungery so look for one that specializes in child custody. If you kill yourself where does that leave your daughter? Talk to a friend or co-worker they might be able to help-never know till you try. I hope things work out for you. Big hugs.

I had one of my daughters taken away from me over a year ago and I still struggle to deal with it. I never did anything wrong, but countless lies and false reports by grandparents to dcbs forced the judge to change custody because he was tired of seeing all of us in court week after week. It still doesn't make sense to me how I am not fit to raise my youngest daughter according to the judge, BUT I am fit to raise my oldest. Does that make any sense at all? I can tell you that the best thing to do right now is to get a good lawyer specializing in that area of law with lots of experience and to try to build a strong relationship with your daughter because the courts do look at that. Be thankful you get visits with her because the grandparents I am dealing with have let me see my daughter twice since last march even with a court ordered unsupervised weekend visitation order on file in the court system.

Please dontdo that oding is not the answer. You need somehelp from either your doctor or maybe a counselor. how about your parents can they help you out a little. please do find help; I am sure someone around you cares for you and can help you;. you do not need to be alone with all those problems since your boy friend does not sound too helpful but of course I do not know him so cannot judge. but you must have someone to talk to. to be on your side.

Well i had the same problem. And it took me 5 years for me to develop this attitude, and also i encouraged myself in all my best rather than my worst. And today yes i have a positive attitude.
