stressed, humiliated, overwhelmed!!!

dpt of children and families came to my house wednesday. they interview me and my daughter, and then followed me to get my son at his high school so they could talk to him too.

 

everything went well, but my question here is, can i use this againts my husband for custody of my children? i mean, since its bc of his OD that they are now checking on us...

 

i feel so violated!!! having strangers in my house checking on us, as if we are criminals and now i have to do a drug test, which is fine, the only thing i dont like its the fact that i have to pee in front of some woman, as if im the criminal here, were this is my husband's doing!!! its simply not fair!!!! its humiliating!!! im glad i have nothing to hide, its the principal of it...

 

im very frustrated right now...on top of everything, my daughter just had surgery and now i have less time for other things since i have to care for her 24/7 bc she has to be out of school for 2 weeks and i dont have anybody to help me out.

 

my inlaws feel they are helping me by helping their granddaughter, so they havent even called to see how she did in her surgery, or visited, not to the hospital or my home...its too much stress to handled!!!!

 

thanks for any advice, i need it...

Hang in there!! I know how frustrating it can be.    At least they are trying to keep a child safe and as long as there is nothing wrong on your end, it will work in your favor.
  I had my husbands xwife call them on me. They never mentioned the children they shared, just mine.  The best part was they were here the day after I brought our son home from the hospital.   I am sure I was a real peach that day...4 days after a C section and 4 days of hormonal crap on top of  the fact we were remodeling and 4 days of laundry stacked in hampers and baskets.  They knew it was a bogus report and it got dropped . LOL I dragged that lady through my house and made her look in every nook and cranny.  Told the kids to answer all of her questions and went into another room. There was no neglect, no abuse  no nothing but pettiness and malice towards my family.
 I hope all goes well for you. Please take care!  You are in my prayers!!

I have had the police come to my house because my children refused to go with him because of his abusive ways. I had three police officers enter my home and two detectives. I told them if they needed to talk to the kids, I would leave. But they said just stay were you are. They asked the kids what was up, and was Mom preventing them from going with their father? My children both said no, Mom told us we should go, but he is a jerk to us and calls our mother names and tells us we are A-holes, so we don't want to go with him. They asked me if I have ever hit my children, and I told them they were too big for spankings, they really don't get into trouble and if they do they loose privledges. He looked at their arms and the other cops just looked around. They appologized for intruding and went out to speak to my ex. When the detective came back he told me my ex was told if he ever filed a false report again, it would be him that was arrested, and when he started to flip on the cops, they told him it seemed to them, that it was he that had a problem, go get some help.

A month later someone who knows my ex or lives near him called the DCYF, and complained they saw a little girl getting beat by her father and dragged around by her leg. I hadn't even know that happened, and it had been true. The worker advised that my kids get counseling which they already had, and that I seek an order from the court to get my ex into counseling before he could have the kids again. I was still ordered he could have the kids, then he tried to kidnap them. He was ordered into a parenting class, lost custody temporarily and lost visitations for 7 months. Now 1.6 years later he's at it  again. My kids have no rights, I have no rights, and we can't even visit friends anymore because it intrudes on his space, yet he can go and do what he wants including not pay support!!

I wish you all the luck in the world!! I just hope youe state laws will be better than mine and you have a better Judge!

I understand the frustration, and sorry you have this to deal with. However, keep in mind, this is being done for the welfare of your children. Hold your head high, and be proud that you are a good mom, and that the end results will prove this to be.
As for your question, I would post that under legal advice, or if you have an attorney, ask them.
