Re: no choices
I'm so sorry you lost your brother. I'd love to hear more about him? And I can see how the very thought of losing your boys (custody) would bring back those same overwhelming feelings of loss, and the fear of it. How old were you when you lost your brother? Did anyone take you under wing or did you have to wing it yourself and suppress your feelings? (might be resurfacing to complicate your current circumstances of loss). You lost your wife and now maybe your boys. Can you talk this through with someone face to face? Although it must 'feel' the same, remember your boys ARE alive no matter where they live and I promise you - they will always want a healthy connection with you.
Anyway, hope I make sense here, my brain a bit slow at the moment lol. I was wondering if you could 'tag' me (with @ like @Former-Member) me next time so it comes through to email and I get back to you quicker. Hang in there @seamusunsean, hugz xox.

Re: no choices
I'm sorry this has crushed you. And you've been so let down by so many friends and family etc. And maybe the system. I haven't read all you 14pages here but if you have MI as well - they use that against you, the stigma (know that one well too) but they are bound byblaw to give you time with your kids regardless, even if it has to be supervised. This is you time to be your 'best' for your boys. Don't let anyone's poison poison you. Hold fast, declare your case and trust everything will be OK. I know its hard.
I just read a quote:
"Life is 10% what happens to you
and 90% how you react to it"
don't give up, be grateful for any time you can get and forgive the tsunami of crapola generators. Find new friends.
check in later, stay positive EVERYTHING HAS A FLIPSIDE

Re: no choices
@seamusunsean While there are systems in place that can make it hard for you to see your sons, it does not mean that you do not have a place in their lives. What matters, is what you feel. And it seems to me, that you love your sons a great deal - nothing can take this away from you. Don't let the system get the better of you. Your sons need you. It may not seem this way, but things will change. You will see your sons again.

Re: no choices
Hello @seamusunsean,
You sound like a really caring and loving father and have raised your boys to be well mannered and respectful, you should be really proud of yourself for this.
I can't imagine how tough things are for you at the moment, keep doing your best and reminding yourself of the good person you are and that what these other people think does not matter all that matters is that you have done your best. Your boys know that.
