Hi,
This post is not asking for people to say "why shouldn't he have 50/50?"
My husband is likely to get 50/50 custody of our 5yo. I am utterly heartbroken. I can't stop crying. Multiple rounds of fertility treatment. I did not become a parent to only parent half of the time. I'm crushed. For those that ended up with 50/50 not through their own choice, how did you cope?
I have invested every part of my life for the past 6 years (pregnancy included) in my child and I have loved every moment of it. Being a mum has fulfilled me. My hobbies are my child's hobbies, I am happy when she is happy. I socialise with mum friends and don't have any non mum friends anymore. My friends are having second babies. I'm losing my one and only. The truth is, I don't want to have "me time" nor focus on my career. I've been sidelined because of the time off I have had in caring for my daughter when she has been sick. Ultimately reduced my hours for this. I mean, a few hours here and there of me time would be fine. But I just can't get my head around 50/50.
