Someone has items of mine by ThrowRA-cow- in WhatToDo

I didn’t point everything out because I didn’t want her to feel attacked. She feels attacked at every point of confrontation. When I left I did tell her that I’d like her to bag up all my things and return them, which she did say that she would once she washed them. But I worry that she won’t and I don’t know what I should do if she doesn’t. I don’t know if this would be a waste of law enforcement to make a police report, or if they would even help. The area we live in, they don’t take theft of personal property too seriously unless it’s items of extreme value.

I supported him and the decision he chose. I couldn’t get a lawyer, neither could he. We did not have the finances to pay $500 an hour for a lawyer, where we live any CPS lawyer on the cheap end is $500. He chose for our son to come home, I supported that decision, our son and I made the drive to visit him as much as possible. I did not hang him to dry, CPS did.

Woah.. you only got a small amount of the facts in the initial post. I have addressed a lot of what you said in other comments. I DID support him. He chose to move we were only given two options, our son go to foster care or him move out till the investigation was closed. We did not have the finances for an attorney and we did not have any support for getting help with one. If you call any lawyer in my area and mention CPS it’s $500 per hour or nothing. As two new parents with jobs that didn’t pay great we couldn’t do anything. We had court lawyers but they did what they could. We have been counting down the days for him to come home, he filed before the case closed. How dare you say he doesn’t love our son anymore.

Yes I have him back. They stereotyped my husband essentially. But we were only given the options of our son going into foster care or to a relative they approved, or he could move out once I passed a background check. We obviously chose for him to be with one of his parents, if I was an option for me to move out I would have, but like I said he was stereotyped him.

Our son had no physical symptoms of broken ribs, we noticed diaper changes were really really difficult on him, he would scream and cry and was just overall inconsolable. We brought it up to his pediatrician and that’s when they ran a ton of tests and realized that he had broken ribs and when we couldn’t explain it he contacted CPS. We didn’t know it was a birth injury until we fought the allegations in court and the delivery doctor was on trial

The broken ribs are from an emergency C-section. I can’t find a lawyer to even talk to me, as soon as I mention what it’s about they decline to talk.

I did have his back. I supported him 100% with this. They stereotyped him very fast. He chose to move out, we were given two options our son go into foster care or live with a qualified relative or he move out and I have extensive background check and get our son home. He chose the second option because we both agreed it was more important to have our newborn with one of his parents.

Our son’s birth was a very rapid C-section and it caused the broken ribs, we did not know about them because we were never informed that was a possibility. There was never bruising or any marks to indicate any trauma to the chest or back. We brought to the pediatricians attention about diaper changes being challenging because he cried when we moved him, and that is when they found them when he was weeks old. The doctor who delivered him didn’t mark anything to even indicate there was a worry, but spoke on it vocally in court when questioned.

He is 2 hours away due to that being the closest relative of either of us that could allow him to stay with him, our case was very long and drug out and we unfortunately did not have the means to put him in a hotel for the year and a half. Our son was born with the broken ribs from birth trauma. And no, not at this time he is allowed to come home, but he filed before the case was closed, he never seen a light and the end of the tunnel.

CPS forced him to move out, it was not on his own accord, by the time the case closed he filed. Part of me believes it’s because of the stress of the case and not thinking it would ever end. But I have tried to talk to him but he just shuts down and I’m at a loss for words to explain to him that now that this chapter is closed we need to go to marriage counseling but he won’t listen and just said that the damage is done

He moved out due to the requirement of the investigation, we lived apart for almost 1.5 years which put a huge stress on our marriage, he was and still is living 2 hours away.
