Emotional? I did ecstasy’s at a party with my boyfriend. I had a babysitter for my seven year old. I knew it was irresponsible, but it was my one night out and my child was safe. Well I was texting my bf telling him I think I did to much and I didn’t like it.... well my texts were going right to my sisters Ipad. She Didn’t say a word to me.... she just printed the text messages out and delivered them to DCF....

Dcf took my kid away from me.... despite me not failing any drug tests they had me take ( by the time they took my child it had been like two weeks since the incidence)

On top of that trauma, I had to deal with the shame and guilt.... and my child went to the sister who snitched on me (who was abusing Oxy and Valium at the time) and she stopped allowing my child to FaceTime me at night bc it wasn’t convenient and cancelled our visits to see each other.

Then without telling anyone my sister wrote to the state and said she no longer will care for my child... and no one else in my family stepped forward (also heartbreaking), if it wasn’t for my now exes family stepping in my kid would have went into foster care. All over one stupid fucking party.

Mentally it was just traumatizing.... my now ex used to force me to get out of bed and go outside and to try to live.... but it was the worst thing I’ve dealt with... and I’ve been through a lot. Seen my mom overdose, lost the family house, been in abusive relationships.... but having the state take your child??? It was horrible.
