Why Me?
I Lost my daughter to CWS
Where do I even start? I had a really challenging pregnancy. I was nauseous the entire time through. I had gestational diabetes and no one to help me, but not just that. I kept my struggles from other people. I didn’t let them know that I was stuck in guilt , shame and remorse and Embarrassment that I was pregnant at an older age. My daughter was born healthy thank God, but she was also born very early and we stayed at UCSF and when I say we stayed at UCSF it was just the baby girl and me. I didn’t have any support. I had one family member visit one time But the rest of the time we were alone. It was hard. It was so so hard when I got home. I relapsed on alcohol, and Audrey was taken from me. I had multiple tries of getting her back, but I kept turning into alcohol to numb to not feel to be able to function to calm my arms, my soulmate, everything Ultimately I lost her 100% didn’t matter that she had a safe home that she had a bed that she had food that she love me. The department didn’t care about any of that. They also didn’t support me in my recovery. My parental rights were gone. I have family taking care of her, but even at that they barely like let me see her. Meanwhile, I work full-time for social services. And will do anything for my daughters. None of them seem grateful. I don’t have the option to have Audrey back in my life. My mom keeps her from me, which is very very sad so here I am a biological mom, not in touch with her baby girl, my heart goes out to every woman Who is a non-custodial parent who might feel like they want to end their life because honestly, I feel like that I wanna say almost every day stay strong know you’re not alone I’m here if you need me and I just pray that my daughter is adopted into an amazing and blessed family And perhaps one day I will have the opportunity to have her the relationship with her
