Yesterday I had court for the custody of my son. And well I lost. Not only did I lost my visits have been decreased. And I am hurting like hell. I hate being home. Everything here reminds me of him. I am alone which make me think of him and I start crying. I need to be a mother I do. I know that I can not give up. I just can't. But for now it just sucks. How do you stay strong when you feel so weak? I feel like I am going to have a mental break down or something. I can't handle this. I just can't.

Any advice on how to handle it?

one day at a time.i've been through custody issues.i hope things get better

Oh, Whisper! I am so sorry to hear that!

Regardless of the situation. We cant change what happens. We CAN change how we react to it.

I'm sorry.

It WILL get better honey...
That you can be sure of!!!

keep proving that u are a great mom, and hire a better attorney next time. hang in there lady.

We are here for you Whisper. Every parent, whether a mom or a dad, is hurting with you. Some have lost in court, and some have only had to experience the fear of loss. Regardless, our hearts go out to you.

i did this and it took 3 years but i have her now.i let god help me.i have been through hell and back.and still every day i have to fight my x.i hope it get better

You have to keep going and trying because you have no other choice... it's your child. You keep trying, trudging thru thru the mud, and going because giving up is not an option. Best of luck

You should go to a church when you wake up and tell the pastor how you feel even if you dont go to church it will encourage you to talk with a prayer warrior you can make it thru with the love of Christ you will promise

Noble deeds and hot baths are the best cures for depression.

I am so sorry. I don't have any kids so I don't know what you are feeling. But I do know that this will make you stronger. Another fight to go for your son. No parent should be without the child they love. All the best to you and the strength to live each day for your son and a soon reunion .

Garner some strength in knowing how very important YOU are in your son's life. Focus on what you know and believe regarding your relationship with him.

SORRY,,,I FILED, thought custidy and was told with my job,,I could NEVER get custidy, so I had to settle for every weekend and THAT KILLED ME at that time.
So, to BE WITHOUT COMPLETELY,,,I have NO-IDEA, what "THAT" would feel like except "NUTS" inside my thinking and my everyday life....
Maybe a BETTER attorney and some more time spent tring to get it all BETTER LOOKING for you.


But I do still feel your LOSS and hurt in not seeing them..

Melissa,

I know this is tough honey, but you know you can always lean on alot of strong people here who love you.

I'm sorry sweetie.. I haven't been on the losing end, but my ex tried to get custody of our boys, he didn't win. For now there might be a reason.. just keep up your hopes, dreams and strength to get the custody back! Love your son all you can, he will know and feel it.

((Hugs))

Then again, maybe it's not actually our business and we should just lend support when we can.

Alittle compassion here would be nice,, (( Melissa ))) came here hurting and torn,, asking for comfort,, some kindness and open arms to fall upon,,,,

Love & Light
