Back on the edge again

[TheLastGreySky]

So my lawyer called me up today, and told me that they don't want to give me visitation for my kids and after 40 phonecalls it turns out that my kids' mom was taken off the case entirely- voluntarily.
And they're still pushing to terminate my rights. The caseworker is telling me that my kids don't want to see me. And I'm arguing that even if that's true it's because of what their mom put in their head.

But the truth is they'd rather orphan and sell my kids that actually give a father who is willing and able and committed to taking care of his kids full time a chance.

They look at my felony record and they think I'm a monster. I've begged the caseworkers and legitimately I'm so fucking done.
I feel like the main character in the Korean film Oldboy when he cuts off his tongue.
They've completely walked around with their noses up and looked down on me every time I completed the case tasks, but all it would have taking my ex-wife to get the kids back it's just stay sober and pass three U.A's, she's instead backed off the case entirely abandoning our kids.

I am broken hearted.
I'm angry, and honestly all I ever get told is women have it so much worse...
It's amazing to live in a country where you can do three times the work and still be 1/3 of a person,
And if you complain as a man you get told to shut up. Happy men's health month by the way mine is a wreck. Anyway if I do plan to livestream things as I planned on before I will let you folks know. I don't want to break my girlfriend's heart but honestly I wish my mother had taken a coat hanger while I was in the womb right now.

I'm so so sorry about your kids. The way we treat people with criminal records is horrible... what's the point of releasing anyone back into society if you're not going to allow them to actually live in it? It might not mean much, but I hope you get visitations, at the least.

That's what I'm fighting for but they're refusing to get a second opinion for my kids even though they went through five caseworkers. They want to paint me out as the enemy and really they're the corporation robbing four kids of a father.
I own my past, but these people who don't know they're fucked up that really tick me off.

I appreciate the kind words.

I'm so sorry. Truly. Like fuck the felonies unless of course they were related to hurting kids obviously. We have a fucking felon as the president so it definitely shouldn't matter when it comes to being a parent TO YOUR OWN DAMN CHILDREN

I wish I had advice for you - is your lawyer fighting for you? Does it seem like he really is doing his job well? I feel like the mother being allowed to abandon them should have automatically given you the kids.

The system is so flawed and fucked all the way around. Like why tf would they think it's in the best interests of the kids to have them be in the system as opposed to giving dad a chance. Makes me sick.

I was homeless living out of my car and I paid him $2,000 to get a protection order that my ex-wife put on me modified. That's the only thing he's done for me. My ex-wife could easily have came out and said she lied because she knows she did... Instead she backed away from the kids and I don't know what to do.

I'm praying to God that they give me a chance,
But I've begged and they've just rolled their eyes at me. I'm doing all I can.
