You are NOT a bad mother. A good mother like yourself knows when you need help and asks for it. A good mother like yourself knows that getting help for ourselves is helping our children. A good mother like yourself puts your child in a safe loving environment substitute until you are well enough to care for you child again.

Some helpful organizations that helped me. (I don't know if they have them where you live.)

Parent Aid
Help Me Grow
WIC
Local prego center
children services (Belive it or not, but they are not always there to take kids away. They helped me hook up with the above organizations, and parenting classes wich were very very helpful.)
