Tried to tell you, your in a Mi court, Judges in many of the Mi courts don't mess around. You were in contempt of the court order, that to many of these Judges is contempt of the court and the Judge.
Get into therapy, get a lawyer and file to get visitation back. Get your medical records to the lawyer.
So which is it, you have anxiety attacks or you pass out due to some medical condition, or is it both? Passing out because of a medical condition would not be a reason to be in therapy or have visitation taken away. It would be a reason for you not to be able to drive to pick up or drop off your child. Both my husband and son have gone through this passing out bit. Both have had to not drive several times, cause each time you pass out starts that clock again. They both went through full medical examines, many medical tests. Have you gone through a full medical run up because of your passing out? Have you had any tests done? Passing out can be a sign of some serious medical issues that need to be ruled out. First thing you should have a run down on is heart issues.
But passing out should not result in you losing parenting time with your child. We can't help you if you don't give us full details. If you also have anxiety attacks, well then ordering you into therapy and taking your parenting time away because you didn't follow the order is what the court should have done. However if your problem is strictly with passing out, you seriously need a lawyer now to fix the mess you got going.
Perhaps if you start over here and tell us what happened way back when you were ordered to therapy, we could give you a bit more help. Was the child with you when you either had anxiety attack or passed out? Did you pass out because of alcohol or drugs? Did you pass out or have an anxiety attack while driving?
Passing out is the result of my sever anxiety. I have been tested and retested and tested some more. I start feeling anxious, my hands clamp up (as in turn into t-rex claws and i cant pry my fingers apart), my vision blurs, I start to hyperventilate, and then... I go unconscious.
My ex and I were together when I was diagnosed. She brought up my anxiety in court. I think it was just to the mediator. At that point I was 10 months into my 12 months, in order to regain my license. I didn't lose my license because of an accident. It was suspended as a precaution.
When my ex brought up my anxiety, I was very open about it with the mediator. It was never mentioned again. Not even the day the judge ruled my weekend parenting. No one said anything. Not her, not I, not the judge, not the guy from FOC. Four days after court I got the court order in the mail and it was in the order. At that time I was in therapy because I was looking for a new medication regimen. (i was on seroquel and it was making me depressed) so I never thought twice about it.
When I moved to another county for my new job I had to find another place to go. I didn't have insurance at the time (the place i was going in my old town was for people with no insurance) and was turned away. I contacted FOC and told them that was my issue. They never contacted me back. (i should have followed thru, i know. i messed up big time) Soon after that I came down with kidney stones and (without insurance) was in the hospital for four days while they just kept postponing my surgery... A guy came into my room talking about medicaid. My wife gets medicaid for my two step kids and our child together. So having a child in my home who was eligible, made me eligible. So I found a place to go for therapy. I went twice. After that I was working literally 60 to 70 hours a week. I just never made the time. I didn't want to have to request time off each week from my new job and risk looking unreliable. And the therapy fell into the back of my mind.
My ex was also in contempt. But they didn't look at that. She was denying visitation. Not because I wasn't in therapy, but because she claimed I wasn't taking my visitation. I had documentation that I had my son on all the days she says I didn't. I had documentation that she hadn't even been living with my son. I even had documentation that she was selling my sons prescription adderal. (and the judge had copies of all of my documentation) I had witnesses, testimonies. The judge didn't even let me speak last Friday in court. I thought we were going in for a show cause hearing. So I could SHOW CAUSE for why I was not following the order. And maybe I was naive to think that my check stubs for 70 hours and the fact that I didn't have insurance for so long would at least ease the blow...
I have never had an anxiety attack that has resulted in harm to my children, or anyone for that matter. Well, besides myself. I've smashed my head into a few walls and floors and one glass coffee table. So, I generally don't see how they could assume that my anxiety would be a direct threat to my son. I have managed to be a full time father to my other child, and my two step kids, without medication or therapy. And if they were going to put it in the order, why didn't they talk to me about it first?
I've never been anxious in court. Or shown any signs of an attack. I'm always calm and quite and non confrontation where as my ex screams and yells and flips out on me in front of the judge. She even threatened to kill my wife. In front of the entire court room. And nothing was ever done or said to her about her behavior.
