if i plead insanity, will they take my kids?

cinnabon

I'm usually pretty strong and myself along with my mom tend to be the backbone of the family. But I already suffer from anxiety and lately my life has been soooo overwhelming. I feel alone and am seriously considering checking myself into a mental health facility for a few days. But what about my kids? Will they think I'm incompetent and take them from me?? I'm scared because I feel I really need to go. Im a disaster right now, but I don't want to lose my babies what to do?

@stevkam0911 I'm not sure what's going on to be honest. I just feel like my head is spinning. I mean, hubby is becoming more and more independent everyday, but still a lot is needed from me. It's hard to tell him how I'm feeling because I don't want him to feel like a burden. We have an awesome marriage and I would never ever leave him over this, but it is truly a lot on me. I need some days off. But its not just him. My ENTIRE FAMILY is dependent on me.

@richjen24 I honestly don't want an outpatient facility. I wanna be admitted. I really really wanna get away. Not go talk to someone and then come home to the same place. I need like a week of therapy. I too had ppd. I just fear I will look like I have a history of mental health issues and can't care for them. My hubby isn't their father. Their dad left us for another woman and I don't ever want a reason for him to question my parenting. It's a super long story, but I'd die if they were ever placed in his care. Even for a week!!

@purple89 thx. Trying to rely on Jehovah but I still feel I'm losing it. Like I said above, no one can take over for me. I'm the one that takes care of everyone.

@stevkam0911 no, I haven't spoken to the elders...sorry to say, but we only have 3 and two of them know exactly how I feel about them and the third one is goin through some health issues himself. I don't wanna burden him

Maybe u don't need to do that if u could just find somebody to take over for a couple days while u go to a hotel by ur self and sleep I'm sure it would help a lot

Stevkam0911

Yeah I understand how that goes,i wish I could come help u.are there any in the congregation with children around the same age as yours maybe u can see if they can get together for a few hours & u can have some you time.

My cousins mom had a mental break down ne had to be admitteded to the mental health ward at local hospital and she did not have anyone to take care of her sons because ones father has passed and the.others is in jail but children services put them with a temp foster family but she.was there for almost three weeks and got her sons back the day after she came home no problems. As long as you have someone who can take care of kids then they should not have to get involved in your case but idk all the details but you should be fine to go get the help you need to be the.best mom you can and not have to worry about the kids. I wish you all the luck in the world and I hope you feel better soon!!
