I am, and this is my second WordPress blog. Hoping to do somethings better this time around. Both blogs are about me this one about finding out who I am what goals I want to achieve and what I want to do with my life. where my other blog was all about my life, at the time being a stay at home mom to my 3 littles. I stopped adding to my other blog about two years ago, and since then a lot has changed in my life. For starters I’m no longer a stay at home mom, if you were to meet me, I bet you never guess I was from 18 – 30 years old. Check out my other blog here. http://www.sahmof3sd.wordpress.com
My life was turned upside down the past couple years, living without my kids because of a CWS case that opened in May 20017. After being informed my ex mother in law had temporary guardianship of my children whom I had just left in my ex husbands care days before. This after he was arrested. Apparently false claims about my ability to mother my children were made to police when my ex was arrested, so I did not even receive a phone call to be informed of the situation before authorities gave my ex in laws guardianship of my children.
And here I am over two years later, and I feel no closer to being in my children’s life’s like they need me to be. Over two years of not sleeping in the same house as my children. Over two years of watching my ex who started this mess regaining custody, while I struggle to get my shit together after being thrown out into the world with no help from anyone , no life experience , and not having a job since I had gotten pregnant with my oldest daughter at 18 years old.
I wish at this part I could say I made all the right choices and was successful, but I can’t because I made what sometimes seems to feel like all the wrong choices and I really can’t say I’m successful at anything to be honest. But one thing I can say is I haven’t given up. Currently finally going through with the divorce procedures and our CWS case closing back in April 2019 with me only getting 2 supervised visits a week, which I’m not even getting, because I can’t afford them. Hoping family court will help me get some support and some more time with my kids. We’ll see though, I haven’t had much luck so far with “the system” so I don’t know if things will be successful this try.
Follow along with my journey. All my adventures success’s and failures. Should be interesting…… I’m up and down a whole lot. Need some support and advice along the way… That’s where you guys come in. Keep me motivated to keep going cause sometimes I get so close to quiting on everything. Any advice you might have I’m open ears. Or if you just want to follow along so be it! Either way I hope you enjoy what you read here . Thanks 😊

That sounds like quite a rollercoaster, I hope you’re on the upswing finally. I’ll check out your old blog! I had a second one as well but I, unfortunately, deleted it and wish I hadn’t so I could see how far I’ve come.
It’s so important who we surround ourselves with, I think. I keep hearing the quote “you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with” from different places and I’ve found it to be true. It’s not always easy to abandon all of your old friends and make new ones, though. I did that and I’m in the “middle” phase where I don’t have any new friends yet.

I am so sorry that you are having to go through this. I realize the CWS are not always able to see the truth, that they succumb to the lies that they are told. Even if they look they have been biased already. My brother and SIL went through something similar and eventually it worked out. Took almost 5 years but they persisted, they found ways to make CWS (or here in Canda CFS) see tht they were not bad parents that they had made some not so good choices and were doing their best to change. Do not give up. You sound like an amazing young woman who puts her children first before all and is in a rough patch. I look forward to reading about your journey and being a cheerleader for you. (In Canada again.) PS thank you for the follow.
