Feeling very alone

It's 5am, I haven't slept a wink. Have had the worst day.

My ex is trying to get our children and he has the money to drive me into the pavement.

Been put through the mill in the past year, courts, family bereavements, money problems, lack of support in general.

Am wondering what the best thing to do is, should I let them go? I don't want to, but feel I can't take much more of this. I need help

Darling, have a 5am hug and a Brew.
Talk to us.

He’s not after the kids, he’s just after punishing you.

Unless the kids themselves want to go, you’ll need to fight on. It’s so hard though

SeaSidePebbles · 31/08/2019 05:24

And no, you don’t let them go. How old are they?

Reverse psychology perhaps ? Say seeing the children at weekend only will allow you to have such an easier time of things, and you can't believe your luck to someone who will report it straight back to him . If your children are old enough to understand stuff please make sure that they know you love them unconditionally and will move heaven and earth to keep them in your life.

Best of luck Thanks

They were more prepared than me in court. I did not come across well as I lost my temper. I have mh and he plays on my insecurities.

They had bundles and everything and I was there with my emails that they didn't even look at.

Strung up and quartered, I feel so useless. I guess that's the point. My child (10) doesn't want to go but I can't take all this hostility and micro=managing.

At the moment it feels hopeless.
