Police said my report was unsubstantiated.
DCFS said that I was psychotic and hallucinating (I had passed psychiatric tests) and charged me with my own rape (got raped at home, so I provided an unsafe environment for my child). I had ran away from him already 6 months earlier and was at that time living in a gated community.
One social worker said they were a suitable family because of "making good money" and having a "big beautiful home". Not even my ex, but talking about my ex's family members. They made up stories about me, not knowing that I usually had a witness (phone calls on speaker etc.). They gave my ex my new address too.
When jurisdiction changed, my lawyer advised me to let it just go dismissed. It cost me $150,000, I lost my job and my home. Had to move away from all of my family and friends, this region also does not have work opportunities for my career field. The loss of family/friends is huge. People often overlook how important a social network is. Also affected my health and I'm burned out. My son suffered and had long lasting developmental setbacks. Not to mention that I struggle to be as good of a parent now because I don't have the financial means plus I'm exhausted all of the time. I used to go on daily walks with him for 6 miles, now I often play Youtube and just stare into nothingness on the couch.
No happy ending whatsoever except that him and I are physically safe. They are intelligent abusers, not "fly into a rage" types, so they won't do anything now. The other family kept harassing me legally which cost me about $9k/month and felt like a part-time job, but that ended too recently. They made statements of observing me being deranged, but I lived with a 24/7 witness for 8 months.
Most recent court date they were no longer saying I was mentally ill, now I'm just at risk of kidnapping my son because I have citizenship of a different country. The judge repeatedly said that wasn't an issue. Despite everything I got my shit together - my son was never injured while with me, only with them (most recently a concussion, no legal consequences though), I hold a job, I live alone, etc. etc.
I couldn't sue the social workers because they are legally protected. Was advised that I could not do anything about the police either because my word against theirs.
I'm just tired. In the end, while this was the opposite of justice, at least I improved life for my son compared to staying with his father.
