My concern for you is that if you don't make a decision yourself that the State may make the decision for you. I don't know maybe that would be better and take the guilt from you. This is a very complex situation and nothing about it will be easy. Just keep in mind that whatever you do is for the best for everyone.

Thank you, I am trying and fighting every day as best as I can. I would like to seek out a social service worker to get some solid info from. But on the other hand, I feel that really need to speak with my therapist about all of this first (more in-depth, she doesn't know the full extent of the situation on my part), and also, I have a deep fear of Social service workers due to what I've seen other parents go through around here, plus I had an awful experience a few years ago because I had to report my son's daycare to CPS. I've met a few that were downright rude, cold, and heartless. Not to mention judgmental. It is tearing me apart knowing that I can't handle my son on my own anymore, but terrified of asking for permanent help for him. I'm praying my Psych may have a few ideas.
