Should a care who has biplolar modify and boderline personality modify be healthy to hit residential custody? Keep in nous she cuts herself reguraly, and I hit been told by her miss that she yells and slaps the kids around. Although her miss would never feature that in court. I am disagreeable to intend resedential safekeeping of my children but am wondering how I crapper establish that she shouldn’t hit residential custody. Is her noetic disorders enough..especially when she hurts herself. She has scars every over her body…and I hit a journal from her myspace conversation most selection herself.

She’d have to be deemed a threat to herself or others. Doctors or the court would have to make that determination, and you would have to have reason to get her into a doc or court. Depends what you find on myspace, what the kids will say, what social services would find, and so forth. If you believe she is abusing the kids, do all you can to get them out. It’s no way to grow up.
A disorder in itself doesn’t get you squat, which is the way it should be since many/most with mental illness are fine parents.
I am so sorry. My wife had Bi-Polar disorder many years ago, but thankfully got on meds and had some counselling and has workied through it. I wish you the best.
NO family court judge would grant her custody under those circumstances. The way they look at it, if she’s unable to take care of herself, she has no ability to take care of her children. She will most likely be ordered into counselling (maybe a court-ordered institutionalization) for mental evaluation and placed on meds. It came down to that with my wife.
If you care for her at all, you should get her some professional help before she hurts herself worse than just cutting, or God forbid, hurts your children. With this disease, there is no way of telling how far she will go. With the proper treatment, she will be a mother again and be able to take care of her kids, although that may take some time and until then, you will have to step up and provide some extra support to the children
God bless and I am wishing you all the best. I’ve been there. You may want to talk to someone yourself….this has taken a toll on you as well.
