Custody...how do I survive?
| Tue, 11-22-2005 - 3:57pm |
Tomorrow my husband gets to take the kids for the day. The judge ruled that he gets them 3 days a week for 4-8 hours. I am having a complete nervous breakdown and can't stop crying over him taking my babies (they are 3 and 1). (I am very grateful that I still have full custody because he was fighting me on that too.) On top of that, now his girlfriend is allowed to see them too. How can I let them go without completely losing it or punching him out? This is the 3rd marriage he broke up and his 2 older kids will have nothing to do with him. I can't protect my babies when they aren't here. Any survival tips appreciated.
Thanks,
Michele

He was trying to get full custody saying he is just as capable as me to take care of them, which makes no sense because he walked away from us to live with his girlfriend. We settled on the visits on his days off, rather than him having them overnight at all. I know that once things settle down, he will be too busy with his new girlfriend to see them too much, it's just hard to let go at all right now. He has a 13yo that he only sees a couple of hours a week and I suspect that is how it will be down the road with these two.
Thanks for your reply and good luck in your case.
