Hiding from DFACS

[norum]

I left my x of 14 years (never married)the father of my 2 kids all most 4 months ago bc he finally hit me in front of our kids I had no where to go much less somewhere to my children when I left so I asked my brother and his girlfriend if the would keep my babies till I got back on my feet I only asked them to allow me 60 days and they agreed well August 27 "someone" called dfacs on me said that I ran into a door at my son's school the day before 8/26 when I checked him and his sister out early for Dr appt. Dfacs n my brother decided that now after 12 yrs of basically raising my kids alone I'm no longer safe for my kids to be alone with dfacs requested a drug hair folical test on me n yes unfortunately I couldn't pass one so I got scared n hid now so much time has passed I'm terrified of the damage I've caused what should I do

Hmm, what should you do?
How about going into rehab?
Yeah, that's it, rehab. That'll help prove, after you complete the program, that you love your children more than you do dope!!!!!!!

So you are a drug user who left an abusive relationship to the father of your children, whom you never married, and left your kids with your brother for some period of time. you don't have a stable place to live and it sounds like no way to support the children. For the past several months you have been hiding and presumably not in any way caring for those kids. And you wonder why DFACS got involved? Seriously? This is pretty much why that agency exists.

It isn't clear what your actual question is or what exactly you even want to do. Rehab would be a start. Making sure the children are well cared for and safe would be high on that list. I can't even imagine what those poor kids are going through to have to witness domestic abuse, then be dropped by their drug using mother off with some uncle and have mom just disappear. Getting those kids into counseling is a must.

You should ask DFACs if they will put you into commercials to show their function.

You definitely need to get into rehab (get yourself completely together) - maybe have a job & a decent place to live & then consider getting the children back. Agree also with the other responder re getting the children some counseling.
