I've been worried today about the possibility that I will be found in contempt of court for some unjust reason and will be put in jail. Part of my ex's petition against me asks that I be sued for all fees and found in contempt of court for not allowing visitations. My lawyer told me he was not to have contact with my son, but what if my lawyer was wrong? Why else would they say I'm in contempt of court?
And what happens if I AM arrested for witholding my son from my abusive ex? Will they give me my medications in jail? I'm blind... will they put me in with general population? What happens if I get sick or have a seizure in jail?
I found an old journal back from when I first started seeing my counselor in 2002. I had to write four good things that happened to me the past day, then the four things I was worried/upset about. Then I had to write four goals. I think I'll try that journal technique again.
Good Things:
We all went out to eat at Logan's to celebrate my hubby and I fifth anneversary and had a good time.
I got my house extra clean after spring cleaning my closet and other places.
I enjoyed watching my soaps this morning.
My children behaved well this morning.
Worries:
Going to jail
My grandparents testifying against me
Husband doesn't understand my anxiety
Terrible headaches continues
Goals:
Sing a song with my kids tonight
Take a shower and treat myself to extra care (shave legs, perfume, face cream)
Quality time with hubby
Do at least one more load of laundry/hang clothes
UPDATED GOALS
Not Hurt Myself
Progress 25%

Honey your lawyer told u right. If he signed away all rights and he is abusive, then he has no rights to visitation. What about your son? Does he want to see his real father or is he frightened of him and hate him? U will not go to jail! U r in the right and he is in the wrong! He is the one that belongs in jail. I hate women beaters and I hate child abusers and molesters. He wouldnt last in prison they would have him bent over and passed around as a bitch real quick. hahaha. I think that your journal technique is great and doing these journals is good for u too. U will see that once u get to court and everything is revealed the judge will have no choice but to award u the win of the case. So hang in there honey I know how u feel and what ur son must be feeling too. I was abused by my father and for awhile was forced to spend weekends and holidays with him for awhile. Then one day when I was 13 he pushed me down on the steps and tried to kiss me and was growping me and it freaked me out because he had made several threats of rape to me before. But thank god that never happened. But my mom found out and told the court and they told my mom that I didnt have to see him anymore if i didnt want to and he couldnt force the issue. So I know the fear and anxiety all too well. I'm praying for u honey and anytime u need support or just need to vent or talk, I will be here for u. Love ya lots and have a great night! Big hugs....Rachel
