My biggest fear is losing my boys, all because I am bipolar. I am always terrified that someone will say, you have bipolar, which means we don't know what you will do in the future, therefore, because you could possibly go crazy, we are taking them from you. Up until now I knew that this rarely happened. Well in Britain it did happen. An Italian woman who was in Essex county 15 months ago, was forced by the courts to have a c-section and then they gave her baby up for adoption despite her pleas to raise her daughter. In court the judge even said 'If in later life she reads this judgement, as she may well do, I hope that she will appreciate that her mother in particular loved her and wished for her to return to live with her and to bring her up.It is not the mother's fault, nor the child's, that it was not possible and that a predictable home could only be secured by way of adoption.' All because the woman was bipolar. I guess in this world, it is still possible, in a free world and developed country, to have something like this happen to you. A sad but true fact.
