Okay, so I am trying my hardest to recover. For those who don't know the whole reason I've been suicidal is I've been fighting for my kids since 2023/2024 and they are trying to take my parental rights away even though their mother abandoned them because of my record. I have had a lawyer that I paid out of pocket and honestly, the Fostercare company is doing really underhanded things like claiming they sent emails they didn't and my lawyer has been silent regarding this. I don't have a lot of money, I have done everything they've asked of me and every time we go to court they keep pushing towards termination and recently they told me that my kids are terrified of me BUT THEN THEY REFUSE to let me get a therapist that isn't on their payroll to talk to them. This is the only reason I'm alive. And because my lawyer has pretty much shown that if he continues to fight for me (he was given by the state but I had to pay him out of pocket a couple thousand dollars because of technicalities) that it would make his job hell.

Respectfully these are my kids on the line.
I have been silent and compliant, and all it's done is burn a year of my time so now I'm taking to social media and doing everything I can to raise the alarm here. But I can't do this alone, this is so much bigger than me.
And honestly I feel so small.

I can't sleep at night because I miss them.
I still have notifications on from before me and my ex-wife split up so I could keep up to date on all their YouTube shows. And I've even been told to let them go by people...
They really don't understand that I've been Mr Mom from the day my oldest has been born. But I was married to a narcissist who pinned off all her shortcomings on me, and in a court of law I'm facing people who put the subconscious association that a man is always the perpetrator.

I don't know how to go about this so even suggestions would help. I've done mental health assessments and proven I'm not a danger. Of their intentionally holding a bias against me and honestly I know there's 100% a huge lawsuit against them here. I don't care about money, all I care about is letting them know that they are loved and that I didn't abandon them. But even the parent partner has pretty much told me they don't care what I do or what I complete. I jumped through their hoops and now they're telling me time is almost up.

I am asking anyone to drop reputable lawyers or DM me and I will contact them at my own discretion for privacy reasons, if this wasn't entirely crucial to my recovery I wouldn't post this here of all places. But I have tried everywhere else.
This is the only place I have ever felt safe and heard.
***I am NOT asking for contact information.
Just a name or any support you can give me.
***Do NOT SHARE phone numbers here
***I will NOT call any number shared here.

This place is the only place that I truly believe I'm able to be honest and I'm apologize if this might not feel on topic to other people. To me it is crucial for my recovery and this is the only possible way I will recover. But much more importantly, this is the only way that I as a father can ensure my children are protected and grow to be healthy and happy without the trauma of being orphaned.

I'm in the United States but I don't know if sanctioned will allow me to say what state I'm in for privacy reasons because I remember reading something about it and I do not want to upset any of the moderators but I will say pro bono lawyers from Arkansas Kansas Oklahoma are appreciated.

Honestly, I never thought of reddit. They've really screwed me over and I don't know what to do so I've been calling lawyers all day.

im sorry i dont really have anything directly helpful to offer when it comes to lawyers and all that, but i just wanted to say that it is clear how hard you are fighting for your kids and that alone says everything about the kind of dad you are. even with everything stacked against you, you are still here, still pushing, still trying. that takes an insane amount of strength, and your love for them shines through every word.

i did hear about an organization called the family preservation foundation or something like that on a podcast a while back and i think they were a nonprofit in the states that tries to help parents navigate situations like yours and advocated for family rights and stuff. i dont know all the details but maybe looking into nonprofits like that could lead to someone who can help or at least point you in the right direction.

i wish you strength. your kids are lucky to have a parent who cares as deeply as you do.

Hello! I didn't have time to read your full posts but it sounds like you are experiencing parental alienation. Me too - that's also what has led me here. If you want to dm, please feel free to
