Been going on a year and half, can’t take the stress anymore. Literally don’t want not to wake up everyday.

how on earth do you others who’ve been through these, last this long through such stress and still put a smile on your face for your LO/‘s when they have just you in the world looking out for them (no other parent present or ever has been) but the one causing you so much stress going through this legal process

im broken from the stress literally

while the solicitors don’t live your day to day life

this is slowly breaking me and I need to see it out. We’re close to the end.

Love my LO and I’m doing it all for LO, but it’s broken me and literally robbed me of any joy of her first year and half of her life.

I know in my soul it will be worth it, fighting for better financial security for her in replacement of the moron that is her father who she’ll never know (his decision since month before being born).

But my health has deteriorated so badly, sometimes I wonder if I’ll even be here for her later once I’ve achieved the outcome we’re so close to achieving for her from going down this route.

the stress has ravaged my mind and body
