Does anyone have any words of wisdom or reassurance. We are splitting up and our child is not even a year and a half. how am i going to cope when he takes my child. how am i going to manage financially. all i can think about is the future and i don't know how i can carry on. i feel so overwhelmed. mainly at the thought of him taking my child away for long periods of time. i don't trust him to look after him. he's got a problem with drink but is a high ranking professional and functions perfectly well. he's got all the money and all the power and i've got nothing to go up against him with.
