Standing outside the courthouse and waiting to appear before the judge to gain custody of my son. My anxiety is so high. I called my mom to try to calm me but I’m shaking. My stomach is in knots. I’m freaking out right now silently in front of all these people. I swear I’m gonna cry in front of the guy. I’m so scared right now.

Update: didn’t get temporary custody BUT have a court date for next week with my ex to fight for custody. I have a family friend who went through this with her ex and went to school for this. I’ve been asking her what to do, also have my sister on Facebook watch since she’s still friends with my ex on there. I have a checklist that I need to gather things with but I’m in the right direction.
