Hi Tina,
You situation sounds similar to my daugher's. I'm the birth grandmother. She also was in an abusive relationship, was financially not ready to raise a child and also suffers with mental illness. Her child is now 3 and was taken from her at 6 wks old. She gets to see her twice a year, plus photos and letters several times a year. Sometimes I wonder whether the two visits are harder than none at all. I tell her that at least that means that her child will know her and that it might help when she is old enough to choose on her own to spend time with her birth mother.
When your children turn 18 would you like to have a relationship with your children. They are teenagers so that's not too far away!!
Thanks for sharing your story.
