    • About Me

      divorced, lost custody of youngest child to father. I have spent the past year and a half proving myself to the court, my ex, and my son and things have definitely improved. My goal now is to get shared custody. I am working towards getting a bigger apartment now and making better decisions in the future. Trying to deal with depression in a positive way.

    • Close Child Support & Custody

      After 18 years of marriage and 3 children, I divorced. Five years later, I reconciled to find that nothing had changed. I became addicted to a drug and soon lost custody of my youngest child to his father.

      I have just gone through one year of hell after losing my son because of alcohol/drug addition. He is now living with his father and I was mandated to attend NA/drug testing etc. We had supervised visits. Now, I passed and have him every other weekend, 1 day during week. Things are getting better day to day.

    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      After several years of dealing with the pain, I sought medical help. Last year, after losing custody of my son to his father due to my substance abuse problem, I tried to commit suicide. Thank God I didn't succeed. New outlook on life now. I am currently not on any meds due to a long span of unemployment and no health insurance. I currently have health insurance but have been dealing well without the meds so I think I'll wait.
