• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I have a soon to be 8 year old son with severe autism, The last time he was fully in my care he was 2 years old, long story short and I am being really civil about this, he went from my house, to his father's house, to foster care and now he is being adopted, Until I signed my rights away on september 28th, 2010 I hadn't seen him in 4 years, and I have not seen him since that day, when I did see him that day he did not know who I was, now I don't know if that's the autism or his father telling him I died or something (you don't know the father), I'm just worried that he is lost to me now.

It made my heart very heavy to read this. I feel for you, know one should lose a child. This world of sin is a cruel place. I will pray for you. I will pray that God be with you and comfort you through this difficult time.
