Quote From: dana03

My husband announced to us four days before Christmas last year that he was being investigated for sexual harassment.  After his termination followed, I have been in a cloud of financial uncertainty ever since.  When my husband's employment efforts ceased soonafter, I finally was able to convince him to leave and hoped he would get back to work, face his responsibilities and get the focus off of his obsession with us.  Because of my husband's continued poor choices since then, I was faced with the lose-lose choice no mother should have to make.  Three weeks ago, I ran out of resources to continue providing for my son's needs.  Because of an appeal process my husband used to prevent me from receiving child support, I had to hand my son over to his father because I could no longer afford to provide for him while absorbing all of the household debt alone.  My husband has taken our son to another town and I am not allowed their address, and can only speak to him or visit with my husband present.  My son has Asperger's, ADHD, Sensory Integration Disorder, and generalized anxiety creating Tourette's-style tic movements.  I am so overwhelmed I do not know what to do.  I have lost count of the e-mails I have left to try to get help from the show.  I have also e-mailed Oprah and Montel.  I have contacted every resource and legal avenue available, but if something doesn't come quickly now, I will be homeless with no income because of my home-based business status.  I am starting to fall behind on the bills and have already cut back all I can, as well as borrowed and applied for all I can.  I need some support really really bad.   Any response is appreciated.  

I know the state offers financial support to children who are disabled.  it is a law.  So I would contact the department of health and human resources.  Since your husband has taken you son I would actively start looking for any job until you can get the skills and training to get another better paying job.  I would work on getting your son back. As far as not being allowed access to your son.  Is there son reason the courts stripped you of  your rights.  They don't often do this unless there is a reason.  And your husband cannot keep you away from you son.  It is not right and even in the worse circumstances there should be supervised visits.
