A female United States age 51-59, *ngelterri72 writes:

My children were both taken from me after I had my youngest as I was going through postpartum depression. I was living in California and I was doing everything that was needed in order for me to regain custody of my children but, I kept running into road blocks. My children were both placed in foster care and my oldest was removed from the home when she was 7 and I was wondering if this could be the reason she could suffer from alot of emotional problems? Also I was wondering if this could be the reason she has a hard time in school with Social Skills. She suffers from PTSD but, I do not know what else there is that she could be suffering from. Please someone answer my questions for me as my oldest just came home almost 3 years and has been doing poorly in school.

I'm afraid to say that social services have been more than unhelpful towards you and your children here. To your questions, yes your child is having emotional problems because she was taken, yes this is why she has social problems and yes it's why at this time she's doing poorly in school. Please don't sit there blaming yourself though. You mustn't because you don't need to. Right at this moment, your eldest is just going through a lot, and this is something that can be fixed in time and with effort. The best thing you can both do is spend time together, have some counselling together so you both open up, and just relax together. You've both been through a huge amount, and it will take time to get things back on track. But it can be done. It's just a matter of taking your time to get to know her again. You'll get there in time.
