Question:
he has primary custody… So, every day, every single day try to beg a bit of time from him… I am afraid he will leave the state, or keep her from me if I do not give him the money he wants…
Do you know any lawyers?? Oh right. You’d have to actually want stability, instead of carefully crafted chaos. Sincerely Stewart — The Metaphor Man *and* The Great Defender of the Self (remove the SPAMBLOCK) Please send me an e-mail copy of your posted response.

Rosena, Even though Maria isn’t living with you full time you can still do all those things. She will remember all the things you do that make her smile. Hey, I think my daughter would still like a lamp like Maria’s! She would stay up late reading any book she could get her hands on, especially horse magazines. Have a good chat with Maria this evening. annie

Things are tough. The better I get, the more I *remember* I am her mama and feel desperate to be there, raise her, laugh with her, teach her. Her dad holds my illness however over my head, so he has primary custody. Maria wants "mommy" more and more as months go on. So, every day, every single day try to beg a bit of time from him, she is here about three nights over, four total seeing each other.
I know this feeling Rosena. My ex holds my ptsd over my head. He tells me I’m a psycho. In the midst of my grief, I am aware that I have a living, breathing, beautiful daughter who needs me. And I am painfully aware that I am not always able to do for her what should be done. I tell her I love her all the time, and apologize for my mistakes when I become aware of them. This motivates me to try harder to be well. Maybe that works for you too. You have the love in your heart that makes a good mother. As you make progress getting well, maybe you can have custody issues revised. That takes time, I know. But good things are worth waiting for, and fighting for. I miss her. That’s all. i got her a little lamp with a monkey reading a book at the base (all painted and carved) and the light is like a tiny palm tree. We finally got her a dresser. And she has pretty butterfly night lights strung around her ceiling with a paper mache crescent moon hanging from the center . . . . I am afraid he will leave the state, or keep her from me if I do not give him the money he wants and I just do not have it to give. Damn — That’s all, just damn. I will call her later, I love her so much.
I miss my daughter too. She is away visiting with her dad for the summer. ((((((((Rosena)))))))) k4k Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn – C.S. Lewis

I am being nosey but what money does he want from you? Do you pay support? Is he trying to extort more money from you? Ugh sounds like a bad situation to me. Becky
