Would therapy make me look like an unfit mother?
I am so so sorry about losing your daughter. Depending on the custody agreements (if there were any) you should get your daughter back. That is absolutely terrible, and considered kidnapping, to steal a child from her mother. NO therapy makes it look like you are trying to get your Sh** together, not that you are crazy. More people go to therapy than you think, and I definitely think you need it and it will help you. I applaud you, and it will help you feel much better and put things into focus rather than wallowing in grief. You do not even have to disclose you are going to therapy, it is your business, not anyone else’s.
