Separated and facing divorce (Part 3)

[Ready2Change]

Not following your sitch.

...cranking my anxiety up: the thought of going into child custody mediation knowing she wants full custody.... I have always been a part of my kid's lives..

Been there. I just glanced at your states custody standards. Similar to mine.

My lawyer said "It is mine to lose"...IE I should get 50% unless I start messing up and not doing things. Hopefully the same in your case.

You have proof she is a liar (Phone records and her statement) use this as evidence she is also lying about your involvement.


If your goal is to have 50% keep taking steps toward that. I stayed in marital home until I had 50/50 written agreement. I moved into a rental that 3 bedrooms. one for me. On for D. On for the boys. I purchased bunkbed for the boys. I attended parenting classes.


Stand up for your rights as dad. It is worth it.



As for the anxiety, Your thoughts and fears are creating it. Learn to self-sooth. Breath. Take actions instead of thinking.


You can handle it
