First of all, God Bless you and guide you through this difficult time. I have heard and known of horror stories like yours and being told that you are not alone is of no help. I think you made a wise choice to keep your son away from you and the baby right now. It sounds on the surface that your son needs long term medical care and need not be relieved of your custody when you both need each other more than ever. There are Doctors that will agree. I am sorry about your limited finances. I know that means limited help/resources for you and your rights as his mother. You have been victumized and it is not over yet. Gather up your support systems ie friends, family, local church ect. Take care of you first so you can better take care of others and whatever comes your way. Don't neglect yourself. Don't isolate. Choose your words wisely when talking to others (social workers and the like) these are just sugestions. Please write me as I have other things to share that might be helpful. Good health to you all. From one Mother to another

I suggest approaching the media with your plight. Try approaching a local newspaper to see if they would be willing to do a feature on you and your family, therby gaining the attention of a larger media outlet. I am so sorry to hear about your situation. Godd Luck!
