i do not have kids… but sometimes i see that people on r/parenting are dealing with DCFS or CPS and try to hide some of their medical history, are afraid of getting the right treatment because they say their med regimen could be used against them, say that hospital stays at inpatient facilities are used against them, or say that they have past conditions like PTSD that the courts could use against them when it comes to how fit they are as a parent.

is this all true? i have a boat load of problems… bipolar, adhd, ptsd, anxiety, eating disorder, and a few more.

are you telling me that my own medical history could be used against me when it comes to how fit i am as a parent? that is the worst and most infuriating situation i could possibly imagine. someone taking away my baby because they want to stigmatize bipolar. i have came across this type of behavior sort of in the doctors office, it’s like new doctors who meet me don’t consider me credible because i have a slapped on label of bipolar disorder.
