I recently had a hysterectomy , lost my job, and now my ex wants to take custody of our boys who are 15 and 14 he s trying to say that I am unstable because I have anxiety disorder , PTSD, depression, ADHD all of which is underr control through my doctor. Because I have these issues will I lose my kids. The thught of it give me a constant feeling of panic and doom. Ithis normail? My house is clena my kids eat, go to school. i wanted to go to school to be an RN but due to a traumatic brain injury from a horse accident my mind isn t the greatest at 39 years old I m on aricpt which is what I guess they give alzheimers patiens, it seems to be helping with my memory. Either way way do having these ailments make me a bad mother? I was also recently diagnosed with uterine cancer and had a hyseterectomy on the 27th of last month, He served me custody papers while I was sick. The anxiety hasn t stopped. I never feel calm and I m always worried sleep is a difficult issue for me.
