The question

My husband and i have recently split up.... he was

taking our 3 kids away to which one is not his in a

car with a lady who is a known drug dealer.... the

police then got involved as i would not just let him up

and take the kids as i was the one doing all the day to

day things for them. The police came and said that

because there was no court order that he can take the

kids if that is what he wanted to do and i could do

nothing about it! being shocked and upset i do admit in

raising my voice... the police then suggested that if i

wanted to that i can call DHS and they can come to sort

the matter out! i thought that this would of been the

better option. so i called DHS to then become involved.

As DHS were called the police stood by just incase

anything was to happen... The police then told me to go

inside and wait for them to show and that my husband

would stay out the front with the kids, whilst i was

inside and DHS showed they spoke to my husband who told

them that i was abusing drugs and that i had belted

him. Now both my husband and i did smoke pot but it was

never around the children and i also have a mental

health condition but have never been hospitalized for.

So they Dhs worker walked in and said some pretty

hurtful and nasty things to me eg. You are 2 thin....

now i am 24 with a height of 155 + cm and i weigh a

good 65kg which is well in portion with my age and

height... he also said to me that i had bit my husband

which again was not true and that i was 2 mentally

unfit to be able to look after the kids. Now he made me

sign a vol. order to say that the kids are to b put

with their dad.... i signed it as he said if i didnt he

would take me to court and the kids would be taken off

me for good,,, he also made both the father and myself

go for drug screens in which we both done! i do not

understand how we both smoked the same thing and the

same amount that i would be coming up positive for meth

anfed and also mary j. and all my husband comes up with

is small amounts of mary j... any way this is on going

and im still having trouble with DHS. they still make

me do drug screens which i do not mind doing but still

say that my screens are dirty although i know i have

not been on anything and would not be so dumb as to go

for screens when i was supposed to of been using. My

oldest daughter Jasmine was then told she could go to

my mum her grandmother on the same agreement... Now my

mom is playing "GOD" wont let me call my daughter or

let me see her as my mom and i do not get along at

all.... am i able to get my daughter to my grandmother,

my mum's mum and sign her over to her and then when my

grandmother and i feel it is best that my daughter be

with me have her come and live back at home where she

belongs?
