Hi everyone,
I'm trying to have post titles that don't attract onlookers.
I wrote previously about my dd still sleeping with her dad. About 1 month ago, she came home and told me that she is now sleeping on the sofa. I don't know the details, not sure she really is. CPS was called by an unnamed person and I think they may have visited his house to see where she was sleeping. All the sudden she was sleeping on the sofa now. Still no privacy, her own room or even a closet with her things. (in fact she has very few clothes because he says she is there so little that he shouldn't have to buy her clothing. Otherwise he buys my son clothing, or obtains it from friends.
My son is in the hospital. He had a break down and is extremely angry at his dad. He's taking out his frustration on me and says he doesn't know how to stop it. Anyway, he will be there from 7 to 14 days.
The story continues to unfold and he told me that he and his dad have fist fights. Then later he told me that he is hitting his dad, not dad hitting him. I'm not sure what to believe...as this is one of the things he mentioned during his evaluation the other night.
I'm very sad for my kids. My son wants his dad to participate in his life, it appears that he is incapable of doing that. I visited my son today and he asked if his dad had called. I didn't tell him that his dad said that I will "pay" for taking him to the hospital. I just said he called, I informed him and left it at that. My son said, "I don't think he will come here and visit me". I wept for my son. He just wants his dad to be his dad, and no one can make it happen, and my son thinks he can. He has been trying to get his dad to father him since he was 5 years or younger. His dad has problems, and now he is causing my son to have more problems.
My kids have been having intensive therapy for the last 6 months (more for my son) and my ex has told the therapy office NOT TO BILL his insurance. Now my daughter is not getting to talk to the therapist, unless she goes in with my other daughter. It is so mess up and mixed up. My prayer is that I will find a strong attorney to help me get this straightened out, or help me get my kids permanently. My children are being destroyed by the mental illness of my ex. He has OCD, and maybe bipolar. Every one of my friends who knows my children well says that his stressful homelife and behaviour are devastating my children. However, none of them has actually been in his home. They just know how my children have changed drastically in the last 5 years...going from extreemly confident and happy kids, to stressed out and desperate.
I know none of you can physically change this, but please just hold our family in your prayers and thoughts. I am fighting for my kids, and I don't plan to lose.

Have you thought about speaking with the social worker at the hospital? I wish I had more to offer. I'll keep your family in my prayers.
