My world is spinning upside down here and I need help. I just married my hubby a little over two months ago and he may be going to prison. He has two boys ages 6 and 8. One is in foster care and the other is in Boys Town. I have a 7 year old boy who is currently with my sister. Both my hubby and I are in classes and should be getting our boys back soon depending on court. Does anyone have anything similuar going on? I really need someone to confide in here.

Get a lawyer, they can help you get the children back. the children need to be togther. They need ot depend on each other.
Did you loose your son due to something you did, or something your husband did? If it's something he did, you need to get him back.
Social services tried to take my daugher away from me because I had been in foster care because the social worker who was supposed to adopt me out is mentally ill,( not an accuation, fact), and because my first husband had passed years earlier. None of which is relevant to anything. Forutnatly, I know the laws better than he did. I told him he could take my daughter out of my arms, I won't fight him, but he'd get arrested for kidnapping. Two police officers were with him in the mistaken belief that I'd be afraid of them. One was a friend of mine, confirmed that he'd go to prison. I never lost custody of her except when my estranged husband kidnapped her. Got her back then too

Hi Brandi, I see that this post was posted a few weeks ago, so I am not sure if some things have worked out for you all but I can try and mention a few things to maybe give you some hope. First, I divorced my first husband because he committed credit card fraud, and went to prison, currently in prison now. My chidlren were, at the time, 12, 10, and 8. I met a wonderful older man, and married him. He did not have any children, and we worked through raisiing three children, etc.., and now have been married for 13 years. I do know what it is like having the "stigma" of my children's father in prison, and what goes with that. He was even on t.v. when they arrested him, and several children said things to my children about that, at that time. Anyways, through rough times, you become stronger and stronger, and there is hope, really there is. There also is help too, you just have to look for it, as it does not come easy.
I found resources through health department, etc., to get free stuff for my kids at the time, because of my finances. Now I am in school getting my Master's degree in Social Work. If you want to vent to me, email me at: mrsjewel57@aol.com. My name is Amber.

I am not going through this, nor have I been through anything like this...... that being said, I am happy to offer myself as a confidant for you if you need someone.

If you are someone that has made some bad decisions but you are trying to atone for things, then I commend you. No one in this world is perfect and we all do things we wish we hadn't.

I hope you are able to find a way to make things right in your family and get everyone under one roof. Good luck to you.
