Default Please, I need help

I don't know what to do anymore. I'm a mom of 5, have had my ex take my 4 older kids from me (family has money for lawyers, etc) and I stupidly signed guardianship of my youngest to her grandmother on the advice of social services because they threatened to take her from me because of my health. Now the grandma is trying to keep my baby girl from me--everything from "we can't afford to meet you 1/2way anymore" to trying to tell social services that I have anger issues and am crazy! I don't know where to turn anymore. I can't seem to get a job--besides Michigan economy, I am very overweight (5'3'' and 300lbs) and a work history that shows I haven't had a real job in almost 5 years. I've done all I can to help my own situation, but I'm getting nowhere and I don't want to lose my babies forever...

All prayers and advice are appreciated.

Smile re What to do

Hi there
Hope when you get this things will be looking a bit better. I was wondering is the father of your children a good father(forget what he has done to you), if he is your children will be getting what they need from him,so that is good for them. Do you have visitation rights? If you do make them count, make good memory's for your children and yourself. Try and have a plan to get yourself and your life in order. Keep reminding yourself that your children are safe and well looked after and when you have achieved what you need to achieve you will be better equipped to get them back in your life permanently.
I feel for you and the pain you must be going through. I hope you are part of a support group, that will give you the support and advice you need.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I can't possibly feel the pain you must be feeling right now. But I pray that God puts you in a better position so that you can get the things you want out of life. I pray that you find a way to make money so you can have a better chance at having your children with you. Things will be alright for you. Just have faith.

Never loose hope.Here are a few suggestions that might help.

1) Keeping a journal sometimes helps when we need to vent our feelings.
2) Also sometimes it helps to write out a list of options and things that you can do and then explore your options.
3)Prayer, always in good times and in bad.

Default Remember GOD is with you!

Always remember God is with you right now. Though it seems that your world is falling apart he is with you. People seem to think some times He leaves us, He don't and never will. We get caught up in our troubles and leave Him. If you will truly put your faith in God and give Him all your burdens you will see everything will be all right. Always Remeber if you Trust in Jesus With all your Might every thing is gonig to be alright.
