both of you ladies are lucky, it was post partum for both of you, for me its something that i've been dealing with since i was a teen. funny thing is that i was one of the happiest pregnant women you have ever seen ::shrugs:: go figure. i just lost my son to his paternal grandparents back in october because of the fact that i suffer from severe major depression and anxiety. Even though 2 different therapist and 2 different psychiatrist all said i was not a danger to myself or others especially not to my son. I think it sad that though the only reason the grandparents sued for custody after i had had him for the first 3 yrs of his life was because i wanted to move out of state and his father is an alcoholic (we've been seperated for 4 years now never married) my depression was made to be the issue. they knew i had it since before i got pregnant suddenly 3 yrs later its an issue? now my case is in NYC where are yours?
