So sorry things turned out in court the way they did. Sometimes there is just no explanation why something so obvious to us can't be seen by others. Just do what you can to look on the positive side of things. Your post above shows that you are already starting to do that. Just stay as focused as you can on the good things in your life and on staying sober for your little boy. Your ex may give you a hard time but don't do anything that will endanger you having your son. If you were to drink while the child is with you and the ex tipped off Social Services for example, it could mean a very different story from here on in.
You know what MWO means - unending support for all the members. Just stay close by and we'll help each other out as best we can...
Stirly...:huggy:

Thank you Stirly,
Believe me, I know exactly what my ex is capable of, and that he would not think twice about hurting me to get at me. I am not going to drink around my son.. I have learnt from the past.. I am going to stay focused on the present, and what I can do now to provide the best future for our child.. I am not going to want my ex to not see our son, I just want orders in place so he cannot use our son as emotional blackmail anymore.. now i am back online and just talking with you all on here, I feel stronger already.. I will be reporting on here regularly again.. as im sure to have a rocky few months ahead of me.. :l

Oh Katie Mate

I have been thinking of you lots and hoping all was well with you. What is with the Courts these days. It seems even if a guilty verdict is handed down the sentence is such a piddly one that it hardly counts anyway. This seems like a gross miscarriage of justice but really - your ex knows!!! deep down he knows!

Please stay focused on yourself and your little one. Look after yourself and you will look after your son. So pleased you are happy in your new place. That makes such a difference too. I intend buying some nice things for my place with the money saved not buying al plus I will have the energy and interest to do so.

Sending you lots of hugs and best wishes for your future

Hi Katie - just wanting you to know that you have my support - it sounds as if you are already dusting yourself off though! Your new flat sounds lovely but as the others here have said, be careful and don't give your ex any ammunition! I wish you all the best for you and your son.

Hi Katie

Welcome back. So sorry you are going through so much. Remember revenge is sweet and the greatest revenge you could wreck on your ex is by staying AF. Think how much stronger you will be and how much better able to deal with things you will be.

Katie, you DO have the strength to do this. Being exhausted is all the more reason to treat yourself well and do every single thing you can to strengthen your body and your will. Eat well and regularly, rest and stay hydrated. Spend your money on supps instead of AL. Exercise to offload the stress and anger. Try to keep your emotions in balance and keep focused on a positive outcome. Do the right thing for yourself and your son. Wear your Big Girl Pants! :l

I've missed you too Katie! Good to see you again! Stay strong... I know. Easier said than done, but at least you can vent to us now! We will listen!

Hi Katie,
Oh hun, I'm so sorry the court decided the way they did. So unfair!! Everyone who has responded is absolutely right-you MUST stay squeaky clean!! They used your history against you this time-don't let that history become your present. If you can show them that the old Katie is gone and the new, strong, self confident, loving Mom Katie is in her place, then you will win custody hands down. Look at this line from one of your posts today:

wrote: I am not going to drink around my son..

.
Can you see yourself changing that to "I am NOT going to drink. Period."?
You have to do this and with our support you will. No more excuses sweetie-you need to find some other way of dealing with stress and disappointment. It's your son's future at stake, never mind your own.
Great big cyber hugs coming your way!! :armsaround:

Hey Everyone, I'm back.. from hell (literally..)

Katie so sorry it's been a tough battle

Katie,

I'm glad you are back to AF. Although my life is very different and I am going through a different pain I could easily turn to AL BUT it only makes the anger, depression, anxiety far worse. You think at the moment it will numb. But it never helps. Has AL ever been the right solution to our problems? Never.

Squeaky Clean as JC says. That can only strengthen you and your situation.

Wait out the cravings because they WILL fade. You must believe that.

Keep strong we are all thinking of you, praying for you and are here for support and comfort. Glad you are back on-line. You can do this. We believe in you.

Hi Katie - It's GREAT to have you back. You have been through hell and have come out stronger and with renewed focus. I want you to know I'm still on the hike (day 11 4 me). However, I'm going to pitch a tent here in this beautiful spot set up camp and wait for you to come by!
