Surviving CPS

This is my story about social services, domestic violence, co-dependancy, addiction and the removal and return of my children. They were taken into Protective Custody on 04-03-04 and returned to my care 02-24-05.

I'm able to stick up for myself!!!

I like to do the Before and After a lot because the after is where I see the biggest results in to where I'm at now!

My ex, my son's father, constantly says inappropriate things to me. I won't drone on regarding the details but I wll say that his sexual advances are unwanted and not going to be reciprocated.

He asked me to speak to the SW to supervise his visits and I told him that I wouldn't do it and why. I was able to articulately lay out my feelings in a non-confrontational and non-defensive way. He thought this was about me punishing him and it is simply about my not wanting to feel uncomfortable. He wanted to make this about some vindictive "thing" he thinks I have and I just explained that I'm not required to faciliate his visit. There are how many people on this planet!? I'm sure someone besides myself, is willing and able to be there during the visit.

I've come along way. I definately miss being in "love" but I don't miss the bullshit. I don't miss the drama. And I definately don't miss the heartache!
