When you click on "new thread," a screen will appear for you to type your message, question or whatever. Then, when finished, click "submit" at the bottom of the page. You may have to scroll down a bit to see it.
To reply to a thread, click "post reply" or just scroll down to the end, and a "fast reply" screen will appear. You cannot put any smilies on the fast reply, though, LOL!
Good luck; hope to see you around a lot!
Shalom!

my kids have been taken away from me. all because my ex roomate got busted with 21.7 grams of meth. they arrested us for child endangerment and we didnt even know what was going on. He told me that he was going to work every day and that is where the money was coming from. but they took my two children.

Anna

Hi Beside,

I'm really sorry for your situation. Are you able to get a lawyer or some kind of legal help? I hope so. This must be really difficult for you. You can find lots of support and understanding here. I hope you keep posting.

Love, Anna

hi beside,

well now he is busted, all is not lost- you just work toward getting well and getting your kids back, show them you can be a good and responsible parent and that should work. they took the kids aware from what they believe is an unsafe house, make it one, prove it, keep it safe and then your kids can be safe.

cheers

Welcome Tom and Beside!

You are both off to a great start coming here. You have found a safe and comfortable spot to be!

Beside, I am so sorry. You should do whatever it takes to get your kids back. That should start the motivation to get well.
