PLEASE HELP ME!
Posted: Sun Jul 09, 2017 1:18 pm
Hello,
I am a single mum to a gorgeous two year old.
2 weeks ago today I made a big mistake. I had gone to see my mum. I suffer from a slipped disc in my back which causes me severe back pain occasionally.
This particular day ( was actually a Saturday) I knew my mum had some muscle relaxants. I took two, 40 minutes later it wasn't working so I took another two, they helped a bit but I stupidly decided to take another two.
I started vomiting severely and my legs felt funny.
I got a taxi back home with my mum and son.
The next thing I remember was being woken up in intensive care. The nurse said I took too many tablets.
I was so confused.
My boyfriend who also came back that night had called 999 as my breathing was not good, I was rushed in with a very slow heart beat.
Anyway, I later found out my son was on a childrens ward, I was so confused. I didn't remember anything.
Apparantly the paramedics had come and found a mattress in my hallway soaking. They had found tablets on the floor around my son lying on the floor and also a red wine vinegat bottle on the floor.
However, when I spoke to my mum and boyfriend they explained that my mum had thrown water over m head qhich soaked a mattress I was going to dump.
The tablets was aa my boyfriend was asked on the phone to check what tablets I may have taken so he emptied my bag.
My son was being looked after the whole time and disn't witness anything until the paramedics came.
The red wine vinegar was because I must have confused it with a drink as I vomited itup and it has traces of alcohol in.
They found slight traces of alcohol which is odd as I hardly ever drink.
Anyway, the paramedics did an urgent MASH referral and I was told that if I didn't agree then they would remove him by force.
I was then told it could be a criminal.matter. The police have realised that there are explanations to everything.
My key worker has said my home is normally clean and my care of my son good and my GP has said he has NO concerns, he wrote a three page letter and told them.he hopes they will return my son as that is the only concern he has. He said my son is in good health and I always put his needs ahead of my own.
My son is currently with my sister on a supposed voluntary care order.
I understand.they saw a situation and jumped to conclusions but surely with the evidence they can tell my son is not at risk from me.
I miss him so much, I only get supervised visits with everything written down.
He is no longer happy as he used to be and when I leave he sobs.
I yet have to be interviewed, however the police said the believe me.
What ia going to happen? I can't take this anymore.
Thank you.
