Does anyone want to talk

I'm not sure @ArraDreaming I don't know if any of our mods/PSWs have that kind of knowledge and training, and I don't know off the top of my head of any members who might have that knowledge either. I really do wish I could give you more to go on than that, and totally understand your fears about this. But I do know for a fact that you're a good dad. Of that I am 100% certain 💜

Hey @ArraDreaming hope it’s ok to jump in here. I use to work for an out of home care agency, so worked closely with child protective services. I haven’t read that far back and not all your post, but you are wondering if they will come take your kids?

They generally, unless it’s something super extreme, they would need a number of reports to get you flagged in their system. And they would contact you to arrange a time to visit and chat with you.
Unlike what society thinks, CP want to work with parents to keep their kids at home. They don’t just run in and rip kids out of loving homes and tear families apart.

They are all for early intervention. Education. Providing support. Etc.

And as a last resort, if they do remove kids, they keep kids together if they can, especially if they are indigenous. They have indigenous carers too.

hope that helps a little to ease your mind. This was just how things were…. Hmm 8 hrs ago when I was working… and I’m in NSW

Never doubted your devotion to your family for a second @ArraDreaming. Thanks for sharing that too @Bow helps me to have a bit more info in my back pocket for future. You're very kind for sharing 💜

That really sucks @ArraDreaming sounds like you're really feeling quite a lot of anxiety at the moment. Could it be helpful to focus your energy on atask or activity, something to keep hands and mind busy?

no I mean I am at the end of of my rope with my children today @Jynx I’m actually at my wits end with one in particular and I have just been in the garage trying to get some stuff done like… away from the friggen children and now the whole communities dogs are barking and I’m just fuckinover it ;I need to go inside but I can’t be around people right now
Everyone just needs to shut the f up before I kick a bin or something

Gotcha @ArraDreaming that suuuucks. It sounds like you're in sensory overload, no wonder you feel the need to take a breather for a bit. And hey, all parents get frustrated with their kids. Kids can legit be a-holes sometimes. Doesn't mean you're letting em down or doing wrong by them to need some relief hey. You able to go for a lil walk or something?
