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?
