socialwork
From experience,
Here is my advice.
First, seek all of the professional help you can. Go to a counselor, and discuss your situation. Be honest about yourself to this person, and about your goals of being the best you that you can, so you can be the best mom that you can. All these groups really want tosee is an effort. In additon to that, I would suggest going for some parenting classes and seminars. They are common, and you can find them readily. If you are involved in church, help your kids to be a part of church activities and family groups. All of these things look good. Then, it seems like you may have a problem with organization, and what mother doesn't, but take some self help classes, or workshops. Basically, show you are doing your best, and constantly willing to do what it takes to do even better. The initiative and the effort will impress, and it will also show that your top priority is your kids, and your ability to parent them. Let me know if I can help steer you in the right direction. If you are serious, go the extra miles, and prove it by leaving a paper trail. Get names and numbers and times and places, and when your social worker questions you, say that you are working hard at doing better and becoming better. This type of thing goes a LLLLOOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGG way. ;)
