Hello!
I am here because I'm all alone. I'm supposed to have my son for half of every day, but my ex takes him from me as much as he can, because he knows I have nobody else, and he LIVES to hurt me, haha! Lovely fellow, eh?
He took him away for six weeks to a trip to Europe recently. That was great, and my son had a blast... and I coped! My online friends were very good at checking in on me and did their best to keep my spirits up, and I did my best to be plucky!
But I wasn't expecting him to take him away just three days later, for three days.... then what's next? Will he take him away every other three days now? We're supposed to share 50/50 custody, so this isn't fair. I can't even write him a letter saying so, as he's forbidden me to contact him, mainly because he gets angry with me and by email, there's a record, which he doesn't want. But because I've been forbidden, I can't contact him (however reasonably) or risk him siccing one of his lawyer friends on me!
I suppose I shouldn't post in a depression forum, maybe I should try to find a lawyer, but with my business so slow I cannot afford one!!
I have only one local friend and she has problems of her own, as well she is quite elderly. I cannot lean on her. Everyone has their own problems, and I've complained enough to her already.
I thought of calling a hotline, but I don't really have anything here to kill myself with, so I'm not in immediate danger, and I don't want to take up the resources when someone who REALLY needs help NOW might need it.
My mother is not in this country, and historically she has not been very emotionally supportive of me anyhow. So I can't call her, and probably wouldn't, anyway.
Well, FWIW, here I am, haha.
