Karen Said:

Professionals or people who have dealth with child abuse...?

We Answered:

You need to go to CSA and tell them exactly what you said here. Court order or no court order if I know my child (or step-child) is being abused at the other parents house I would not send him whatever the consequences. If your lawyer will not answer your calls get a new lawyer. This child needs someone to stand up for him and protect him. Do everything possible to do so.

Pauline Said:

how can I raise money for a huge project for foster children?

We Answered:

Do you have permission from the foster care agency to do this project? Will all donations go directly to that agency, rather than through you? Do you have a web site that shows the foster care agency has approved your project and is ready to accept financial donations on their behalf? Unless you have all this, you won't get any sponsors for your project, as sponsors donate to nonprofit organizations and community programs at government agencies, not to individuals.

Once you have all of the above, target sponsors locally, from your own city and county (largest employers, largest manufacturers, etc.). All solicitation letters should be approved and sent through the foster care agency.

Lena Said:

is it normal for women who have been abused to experience even more abuse from the health system?

We Answered:

I agree with you about how the mental health system treats victims , it re-abuses them in a way with 'labels' then discredits them.
You may not even be 'schizophrenic' depending on who diagnosed you. You could have had an intense adjustment reaction to the abuse and you may have ptsd, which is not schizophrenia, and your hormones are different, because of the pregnancy
Now that you have explained it to them, they have to take the precautions of IF you have another episode while alone with your child, that is what they or anyone would have to do, to protect you and your child.
There are steps you can take to proctect yourself from your ex, and you can file charges against him for the abuse damages, defamation of character, etc also, and get damage monies. You can file harassent charges against him with the police also. When you see a doctor like a psychiatrist, you can ask them to not label you anything because of the abuse or call it something like adjustment reaction.
talk to these attorneys since they would not take money up front if they think they can win some damage monies for you, they would take it out of that. taylorring.com wmlawyers.com

It sounds like you need new help, and someone familiar with domestic violence and abuse to re diagnose you .
When someone has been traumatized, it is inappropriate for a professional to 'label' someone due to the nature of abuse. They are allowed time to heal,and then an evaluation can occur on any lasting damage.
This is just one area of 'mental health' that re-victimizes the victim, and needs changing.
You have to confront him and begin to bring in the help you need in your life.
Look around and find people familiar with dometic viiolence, abuse etc and begin to find the people who are trustworthy. You have the burden of fighting for yourself until then, including the labels.
Here is a great healing method that actually works it doesn't take forever, either. eftuniverse.com click on 'get started free', eftmastersworldwide.com If you resolve your trauma using this method, you can just let them know you have had a healing treatment of this kind and it is documented along with the therapists view of the treatment.It is accepted by the psychological association as a 'profound ' healing method. You can still sue him for damages.

In the mean time you have to be protective of your child also.
So, I am thinking that you need to focus on having your baby, getting the above method to help you heal quicker, and then legal assistance, or all of that now.
Once you get the healing you need, you can get a different label, and just say you were misdiagnosed, which is common .
