I don’t know if this is the right group. I just need to vent. I’m currently going through a custody battle with my sons Dad and it’s so exhausting and stressful. I can hardly take it anymore, but I’m staying strong for my baby. It really sucks having people you once loved belittle you, lie about you and make you seem like an awful person. I know I’m not, and I know it’s all lies or exaggerations, I’m just so scared about it all. His mom is the best at making people think what he wants. I’m trying my absolute hardest and will not back down. All I want is to be civil for our son. All this fighting, even through the court, isn’t good for him. I just don’t know how I’m gonna pretend like everything is okay after this all over with. They’ve said such awful things about me, that are just lies. It’s honestly just so hurtful. I just need some positive thoughts and words.
