My 1st court day is coming on July 11th - I was granted temp custody by the lady judge (not really a surprise because of the abuse) but I'm feeling wired as I have NEVER in over 20 years of marriage been on the opposite side of my husband in a legal matter.

My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
Someone explained it like this to me recently - you've been married a long time and that has become your reality. Knowing that it is no longer your reality causes your mind to feel a lot of discomfort. Don't know if that makes sense or not - but I've definitely felt what you are feeling.
Please understand you are not alone-this community site is good for you and be sure to build up a support system-that is so important.
I am sure you are a great mom and doing the best for you and your kids. Just like me you are a survivor. Just keep thinking positive and take one step at a time. I will talk to you anytime you need someone to talk to. I know what you are going thru.
