I'm deeply sorry for what you're going through hon if you need someone to talk to I'm here. We all have our problems I sympathize with what you are going through.

I just feel so empty. I try to smile for my kids but i end up breaking down at work. I feel like I'm drowning. I feel so hopeless.

Your story made me cry. I understand exactly what you are going through. I feel the same way except I don't work. Please keep your head up. I'm on antidepressants and they still arent helping.

I have been through several different meds. Im trying vitamins but this whole court thing is taking it all out of me. My kids dont want to go but he doesnt care. Ive raised them alone for 12 years now this? I just wanna scream. Im trying my best but i dont know how much more i can take...

I have been in that same situation. Three years passed for my ex not being in my daughters life and then out of no where you wanted to be a dad. You are strong or you wouldn't care about how your kids feel. I wanted to give up myself at times but in their eyes you are a superwoman. Remember you are very loved by your kids. With the right medication you will feel whole again. I didnt think I could do it but I did. You can always reach out to me for help.

Your story is me and I want to hold you and cry with you. i feel so down everyday but I keep fighting. I have been praying everyday. I have been going to church. I know that this is a spiritual battle and the body is weak. I have also been on medication but is still a long battle

Im just so stressed out. All i seem to do is cry. I feel so bad i couldnt even leave the house today. Not only is he hurting me but my kids too. He just doesnt seem to care.

I know this can be very difficult and extremely stressful especially when fighting for your children.

Be strong and don't give your ex anything he can use against you during your custody dispute.

If I can offer you any advice as a mother myself try not to involve your children too much in this battle as it is not their fight but yours.

And remember their best interest is your main concern as well as the judge representing your case.

Be prepared in court to show facts that you are currently and have been the main caretaker of your children and the negative effects that a change in physical custody could create on the children.

But more then any love your children everyday as if it were your last. And hold onto them as you fight the most important fight of you life!

Hope you're able to find some sort of peace and comfort in the misdt of your struggle...
