Everyone thinks moms that have lost custody have been because of drugs, or abuse or crime and it isn't true. I want to hear your stories......

30 years ago I lost custody of my three kids to there father because I could not afford to take care of my children .He made more money and I was to young to realize that I could have kept the place I was staying in and he would have had to pay for it all . But I payed child support for my children I didn't walk away from them just him I was still there for my kids and always will be .

There's different reasons why mothers loss custody, but I knew a guy that got custody of his two daughters and soon as he got them he past them on to his mother and she begin raising them, I don't know how the girls mother lost custody. But I think that the dad can make more money then the mother and the judge will just look at that and say he's the better parent.

There are alot of reasons why moms dont have there children. My ex-husband has my two boys . I finacialy couldnt support them and I wasnt going on welfare . He is a great dad . What I dont understand is that people look at you and say how could you but if it was turned around and I had them it would be ok. Moms and dads have the same right . I love my boys with all I have and I knew they would have everything they need and wanted. and with both our love they are growing up to be wounderful kids

If a mother doesn't have custody of her children and it's not because of anything you have mentioned, it is more than likely because she her self decided to let the husband have custody of the kids. Sometimes women aren't strong enough to raise kids alone. My friend has done that, her ex is better at parenting than she is, she gets to see her son on the weekends.

When my husband and I were separated I left my son with my husband, because, I was the one who needed time to think and get my head together, why make him suffer. Also my husband stayed in our home, my son continued to go to his own school, play with his friends in the neighborhood, and we tried to keep his schedule the same the best that we could. I know there were many women in the neighborhood who thought I was terrible for leaving my child with my husband, but he is a wonderful loving father who deserves his children as much as I do. By the way that was a few years ago, and Friday we celebrated our 16 year anniversary.

i raised my son until he was 15, and his father lived about 450 miles from him for almost all of those years. he visited when he could, but i don't think that he saw our son as often as he'd have liked.
his father wanted him to live with him, but went about it in an unscrupulous way (long story), but i had no issues with it... however, my son DID NOT want to live with his father.
at the time, i thought it was the best thing, and that it might be a good way for him and his Dad to bond... i asked my son to give it a chance, and he did.
one of the reasons i thought it was best he lived with his dad was because my mother was dying and i was caring for her. i had moved to her home then, which was close to my son's father's anyway...
i have bipolar disorder, and my ex used the excuse i was crazy and nuts (hello? i raised two boys practically on my own for YEARS, worked and kept a house -- gave my kids a nice life).
the son i've been talking about here turned 20 today. he isn't much worse for the wear!

my sister is a mom without custody cause she could not afford the kids food bill and clothes bill and all the extras that they needed for soccer and cheerleading . It was a matter of her thinking that their father is and was the better parent. good luck .

I gave up custody because I was in a mental hospital for depression.

My situation is just like Lovebug's note. I raised my 2 boys until ages 15 and 17. As much as I love them, they became a discipline problem for me and my ex-husband can handle them much better. It can be hard for a single mom with 2 teenage boys - I felt they really needed a male figure in their life everyday. So I sent them to live with him and they are doing much better and my relationship with them is also much better. I pay him child support and they visit me and it works out well.
