I don't know if anyone can answer this... I've been thinking about admitting myself (or somehow getting myself admitted) into an inpatient facility in the hopes of it leading to more consistent care of my mental health issues, but I'm terrified that if I go inpatient "they" (whoever "they" are...) will take away the only thing I have in this life-- my children. I fear if I am 100% open and honest about my thoughts and feelings that "they" will decide I am too unstable and view me as a danger to my children (I'm not a danger to them).
I guess my question is: Can my children be taken away if I seek help more aggressively for my mental health?

I know mental health issues are so misunderstood and feared that people that don't suffer from any seem to have this fear of those who do suffer, or a mistaken belief that any/all mental illness= serial killer :/
