I feel exactly like you do. Just replace the names (Andy to Dawn) and I have the same sit., same feelings and same hurts. I can't write it like you do but its the same. My youngest is 11, but she is special needs, she will have to live with her mom or me, so I have a life sentence to. I am to pay child support not until she is 18, but the rest of my life. How is an old man on Social Security going to pay his ex wife $600 a month for child support?
I could be free and I suppose you could be to, if we didn't have to see them. I miss the kids not her, but when I go see the kids I see her and it brings back the feelings, then I leave hurt again.
Jo, I guess after all this rambling, I have no real good advice, but please remember we all care about you. I don't know why going to C would hurt the custody you have of your D. It would be better to prevent an onset of major depression than to not get help. Here in Texas the C I am receiving will be looked upon by the court as taking care of myself so I can take care of my children.
