At a loss...

At a loss... sirhc96: Well ever since I found out that I am bi-polar my ex hasnt let me see my daughter. It has now been well over a month. Talking to her parents it doesnt sound like she has any plans on letting me see my daughter any time soon either. The ex always said that I was a good father as well. I have always been bi-polar, it is just now that I am diagnosed with it and am on medication to control any mood swings. I never had any problems watching my daughter or anything like that. I feel so lost that I dont know what to do as my daughter is the only family I have and thing that I care about. She has full custody but I have visatation rights, I gave her custody because I knew that I was not that stable with my moods and later sought help for it as it was getting out of control. I just dont know what to do. I cant afford any legal help in the matter and I feel that she is holding my daughter over my head to control me in some way. I dont know what I can do at this point.

Re:At a loss... Dino: i dont have kids and i have no idea about the laws dealing with children, but doesnt visitation rights mean she isnt alllowed to stop you seeing your daughter?
have you spoken to your ex and asked her why she is preventing you from seeing your daughter?
Re:At a loss... jen: Chris,

Sorry to hear that your ex hasn't let you see your daughter. If you have a visitation order, I think that you can ask that it be enforced so that you can see your daughter.

Also want to commend you on getting help for the bi-polar...I'm wondering if maybe your ex doesn't understand bi-polar or that you are attempting to manage your mood swings with the medication...

Have you sat down and talked with her since you received your diagnosis?

Hang in there and good luck!

Re:At a loss... sirhc96: I have emailed her three times this week and she has not not responded to any of them. She wont answer any of phone calls. She moced a few weeks ago to another aprtment in the city and didnt tell me where she moved to. She knows that I am on medication and knows a good about bi-polar as her dad has it as well, but my case is very minor to his and I have never had pychotic episodes like he has, just ups and downs. Really frustrating that she wont talk to me and the only kind of results I can get is talking through her parents which are now saying that visitaion should be through a mediator which I think is crazy. I dont use drugs and have never hurt my daughter.
