Trying to Coop...

Yesterday I went to court to try and get my son Benjamin back. It didn't go so well. The judge thinks I'm to mentally unstable and unprepared for my twins and thought it best to keep my son away from me. I feel like it's making me more upset that he's with strangers and I'm here sitting in a DV shelter alone with no support. I'm really trying to coop with everything but it's hard being alone. I'm sorry I need to let it try and talk to someone who gets how I'm feeling. I'm feeling so alone.....

You should try to take advantage while.your I'm the shelter.  they offer programs that are completely free. Try counseling and parenting classes.show the judge your trying. Get everything documented! I know its hard bit don't cut yourself down. Your a very strong woman! Ur a survivor . Try food stamps Medicaid tanf.  there are programs will to help you. And housing.. since your in a shelter they get to your case faster.try looking for transitional housing.keep calling and looking around dont loose faith. Good luck I'm here of you need to talk

Just try and get yourself stable to show the court for your next hearing. I would look into getting a case manager to help with with housing and out patient services regarding mental health. There are program that can help with housing families.  I pray everything works out for you.
