14 And Didn’t Get Custody of My Child

I was fifteen when it all started! I’m now twenty-seven and because I don’t have near as much money as his family does I have lost my life, happiness, everything. Well, when I was fourteen years old I met the father of my kids, he was seventeen. We were together for a little over a year and I got pregnant with my first child. I went through my pregnancy. While I was pregnant the father was roaming the street cheating and doing drugs. I had a beautiful daughter! The father and his mother talked me into leaving in the middle of the night and going to Texas because his mother wanted to see her grandchild. Granted I was young and my eyes was closed to reality. So, me the father and our daughter travelled from SC to TX. He got there it was great. My mother and stepfather came to Texas to get me, I was only fifteen. Harris County in Texas told my mother that she could take me but my daughter had to stay…Why? But my mother said she wasn’t going to split me from my child and let me stay in Texas. About a month later my grandmother passed away. I decided to move back to SC where all my family were. The father chose to stay in Texas. We ended up splitting up in that period. Well he showed up in SC at my house about a month later and wanted to get back together. He asked if I wanted to go to Walmart to get some things for our daughter. So, we start going down the road and we get into a deep conversation about things he did when we were apart and things I did. He ended up backhanding me and putting me and our 3-month daughter on the side of the road. He went back to Texas and he went and had his mom help him get a lawyer to take custody. We start working things out and he dropped the case and came back to SC and we got back together. His mother went behind his back got with his lawyer and continued the case. About two weeks after he got back to SC his mother shows up with papers saying she had custody. So, me and my family fought and decided to place her into DSS Custody so I could have a chance to fight for her. I got a lawyer and won my daughter back. The father and I continued with our lives which consist of cheating lying mental and physical abuse from him. His mother begged to see our daughter again after she tried to take her. The father convinced me it would be ok, I was sixteen at the time. We decide to let her back in and have something to do with the child. Well once again I was fooled by her vindictive ways we let our daughter go spend the night with her at the hotel room she was at. We were all supposed to be going to his grandpa’s church that next morning together. She never showed with my daughter! I called the police and filed kidnapping charges. The police in Houston Texas arrested her and called me and said I had 48 hours to get there to pick my daughter up or she would be placed into cps custody. I was on my way to pick her up and I received another call from Texas saying I had an emergency hearing. I went to the emergency hearing and I was denied custody of my daughter……..

I have way more to my story that I will be telling…… I need help…. these people have taken my whole life away from me and it’s all because I don’t want to play their games and don’t have money.
