When i was 22 i gave birth to my first baby,

After giving birth my doctor had prescribed me some antidepressants. I never understood what mothers went through after childbirth until i experienced it myself. Things got worse and worse. The relationship with my baby’s father started to fall apart, and so did i. I decided to go out with my friends one day, and had left my son with his father. When i came home the locks were changed. When i came back the next day i knew where i could get in from so i did... I didn't find my son in the house, after asking where my son was they finally told me they had called CPS and they had taken my son. I completely felt broken a lot of anger that had been building just exploded. I was charged with 5 Felonies of the first and second degree, i pled out and got sentenced 6-9 years. I never hurt anyone, but when i fought my case they lied on me and said i had injured someone. My intentions were never to hurt anyone. I just wanted to be heard i wanted these people to understand how broken i had felt. On top of everything i was dealing with postpartum depression and a lot of stress, and although my doctor prescribed me antidepressant, Im trying to go home to my son.

I haven't been able to hold him since the day of my arrest, 3/17/24 its currently 2025 and i haven't even seen him not even thru a video visit. A mother needs to be with her son. I feel like ripping me away from him was evil... I dont exactly understand how someone would do that. I understand i did wrong but i feel like my case can be appealed and i can come home to my son before he keeps on growing up. It shatters my heart to have to see him growing up through pictures. Anything helps a little goes a long way. Thank u for taking the time to read my story.
