I have a 7 year old son who has child arrangment order(he lives with my parents)
I take him to school in the morning, around 3 or 4 times my dad takes him. He comes over 2 nights a week after school, I then give him dinner, do his homework or I'll go to my parents. He has been staying over at my flat for 2 years one night a week(I have lived here 3 years). My parents agreed to this and has stuck ever since, with no issues being made. I take him home sometimes early saturday or late depending on what we are doing.
I was diagnosed with bpd and pstd due to childhood trauma, I have been on/off medication up until 2016/2017. I was put back on to help with anxiety last year but at my request asked for it to be removed due it making me feel not myself and I function better. I have asked for help to over come some things, I saw a psychologist who helped me immensely and I was discharged from CHMT in 2017. I then wanted to finally go back to CBT. The consultant has told me medication will not help me only therapy. I have appointment with the consultant Monday, would like to ask for CBT as I am ready and have been for years but unfortunately it's hard to actaully receive it.
The order was made due to emotional abuse(shouting and screaming at my baby) childrens service got involved and I moved out 4 years ago due how hostile it was. Since then I have my own flat, I drive, emotionally and mentally I'm a different woment, my partner has very stable job(we dont live together).
What will happen now? I am more than happy to do any assessment they want I dont want my baby to be taken away. I am consistent with my first child and look after him unsupervised with no concerns for the last 2 years once a week. Would my previous abuse be grounds for an automatic removal at birth? I have no problems for years for any kind of abuse to my son.
If anyone has any advice, I would be grateful for any.
