You definitely need to call the police. They are threatening to lie to the police in order to keep your child from you? I would never speak to them again after my child was back in my custody.

Those of you that now me on this board at least a little biy may know that I've had 2m/c abck to back and have seom OCD issues. I've ALWAYS been able to take care of my son and work my p/t job. I'm on medication and am starting CBT tomorrow as how many people in America are doing currently with children - sorry I little sarcasm.
Here's the porblem - today my DH needed to be rushed to the hospital because he may have had a mini-stroke and the neurologist rushed him in because he said another massive one could happen at any time. So I am completely in tears and understandably upset. My DS was spending the night at my parents house and I went to go pick him up after my DH was set up in the hospital. Now, I am upset, the med I take (Klonopin) makes me angry and want to speak my mind to people. My whole family all takes meds for some mental disorder (albit minor) it's still a disease. They are all extremely emotional and didn't want to release my son to me becasue they said they feared for his safety since I was upset

: Finally after hours of heated discussion I finally said, fine I'm calling the police - you can't keep my child from me - I'm not a danger to myself or anyone else and have always takens great care of my son. Then they said that they would tell the polioce I threatened to commit suicide - give me a break - I have OCD not depression. I wash my hands a lot!! I'm just curious does anyone know what the police procedure would even be for this kid of issue? I'm planning to call in just a minute since I'm just flasbergasted that they would eEVEN suggest they could keep my child from his mother.

Definately call the police. Although, I would suggest taking a few minutes before doing so to do some deep breathing, calm yourself down a little and make sure you give the police no reason at all to question your side of the story. You might also want to have the dr. who sees you and perscribes your meds' number handy, in case the police would like confirmation that you are not depressed and suicidal.
Once your son is back safe with you, cut your evil family out of your life.
Please update when you can I want to know everything is all right! That is horrible, I'll pray for you.

This is hard, Very hard. So hard that i couldn't do it by myself and may or may not have lost one of my own sons to toxic family so i started a support thread for us.
You are a good mommy and you don't deserve this. OCD is not a threat to your son's safety, it is something that you are deealing with in a sensible and responsible manner.
i am still very sad that i am somebody "not even her own mother can love" and yes, i still have fantasies about apologies and tearful reuniions and my younger son being welcomed into a family that really only existed in my own imagination, but it helps so much to know that i am not alone in this journey to break the cycle and give my children a healthy start in life with appropriate parenting.
Please update us when you have a chance.

My parents have not been informed of the conception and birth of my ten month old.
Yea, I cry about it every day but we have to do what we have to do to protect our young ones and my parents have proven with dd1, dd2, and ds1 that they do not deserve to be grandparents.
CPS is complicated, corrupt, and bad things do happen to good people. Please let us know that you and ds are all right when you can. You are loved here and everyone on this thread wants to help.
mamazee's experience does, however, seem to be more common than my own. I wish I had cut my parents off sooner; our relationships might have been salvageable if I had not let things get as bad as they did.

I also agree with pps who say once you have your baby back, cut your parents out of your life. It's hard (I just did it.) but it sounds like it's for the better.
First, let me preface this by saying that if you truly feel that they are wrong, and way off base. And that you ARE 100% capable at this time of taking care of your dc, then yes call the cops ASAP!
And now I'm going to play devil's advocate. Don't hate me too much please?
I have a mental illness, too. And I've battled off and on with it for YEARS. Different meds, different diagnoses...all that.
Sometimes, I am a really crappy person. And mean, and angry. And usually, when I'm in that place....I don't see it. B/c of course, it's not MY fault(in my mind), it's everyone else that is effing awful.
And honest-to-god, if I was in a bad enough place. I know my mom well enough to know she would grab me by the shoulders, shake me, and tell me to get things together before I took the kids home. Now, she might try a gentler approach first, but yes, if she felt I was bad enough, she wouldn't let me take the kids home. And I'm okay with that, b/c I'm not...me...when I am there.And I would rather my kids not be with me, if I'm that out of control.
Now, I'm not saying that you ARE at that point(b/c I don't know you or what you are like normally) but is it possible that they aren't doing this to be mean to you, but because they are ACTUALLY concerned and ACTUALLY afraid that you will "snap" so to speak?
I mean, if I was worried about that, and then the person I was afraid would cause harm had a "heated discussion" for hours which escalated into threats by both sides to cause the cops, that would kinda confirm my fears.
Like I said, just playing devil's advocate. I'm sure it won't get me much love on the boards, but...

I don't know you, I don't know your family, or what kind of relationship you have with them.
Like I said, if you are sure that they are completely off-base and in no way right, and that you ARE capable, please do call the police ASAP. And I second PP's suggestion to have your doctor's number ready.
