Hey @ArraDreaming ,
What brought this on?
BTW, I took a photo of my dead succulents for you. I'll send it later.... such a sad sad state of affairs...I can't even keep succulents alive. Watch me unalive cactus plants!

@tyme I don't have a very good track record with cacti 😒 It would be great to still have @Former-Member around - she loooved her cacti.
@ArraDreaming You are overthinking buddy. You are a great Dad and you have an amazing wife and family. I know the situation with your sister would have brought up these old feelings but you are not her and there is absolutely NO reason why you would have your kids taken away. Getting that thought out of you mind is easier said than done but please know what a great Dad you are ❤️

They don't do it unless you cannot look after them. Can you look after your kids? Are you hurting them? @ArraDreaming

Do you think they have joy in taking kids away? @ArraDreaming Unless they know for sure the children are getting hurt (which they are not), they will not be taken away.
What will help ease some of these thoughts? Would you like to speak to someone from child protection to clarify?
