I know that it is hard. I can only imagine how hard it is. But you have to keep your head up. Stay positive. You said recently that you are going to court. As soon as you do hopefully you will have your son back with you. Just keep your head up.

The pain is great we cry for help it does not come What I do is go the a place The Alba house where I can just sit for hrs in a peaceful place and just ask for help and cry the whole time I sit there but it does help Hang in there you have to fight for your son Stay safe

Don't feel down about a mental breakdown. I had a nervous breakdown in 1985. I had to resign my Dept. Manager's job and take a different job in a different Dept. of the same company where the stress and responsibilites weren't so
strong. It takes time to recoup for a mental breakdown. I was on medication for almost a year. There were things that I could not remember, I guess I blocked them somehow. I lost a lot of weight in the process too but, I began slowly to get better and better as time passed so try not to get too frustrated and take time to rest when you can. My Dr. told me that "sleep time was repair time". My prayers are with you.

I am so sorry you are going through this. I have been in an impossible coparenting situation. It WILL get easier even if the other parent doesn't improve. You will learn tools on how to deal with him. Have you talked with an individual counselor? Talking with one will help you learn how to process your feelings positively and will help in a custody case if you are going through one. I thought counselors were for sick people but I started seeing one even before my divorce and she helped me so much. I don't want you to be in any pain and I am sorry you are hurting. We are here to help you. Continue to keep your thoughts on seeing your son again and you WILL get him back. No one can keep a child from their mother.

    Just thought I would join this group now that I am a widower.  My wife passed away May 28th. She was "The Wind Beneath My Wings".  When I met her, I was a drunken, dope smoking, fighting, hell raising biker.  She told me if I could get rid of the inner storm within me, that I could be a blessing to people. God placed her in my path to stop me.  I have been drug and alcohol free now for 53...

    My husband and I got our foster license last month, after 3 years of hard work (we had to start over multiple times due to family dramas and Mom's open heart surgery). We spent a year preparing the whole house, guest rooms, and children's bathroom for older kids of 7 yr old and up. Then we got a call that we have been approved to receive twin newborn premies. What, what?!! Babies!? Premies?!...
