Hi, lurker here. I love this sub so much- you are the warmest, kindest, most loving corner of Reddit.

Ladies, I’ve hit max stress level. I have a custody trial for my daughter in 3 weeks and her father is trolling me with texts like, “I can’t wait to see your face with what I have.” I’m asking for shared parenting, he’s asking for full custody. Last summer, he held her hostage for 90 days, only allowing me one phone call per day. It’s been a nightmare and I’m really scared.

I’m also having major financial issues and I’m not sure how I’m going to have gas to get to work, let alone pay my attorney the other 2k I owe.

I’m tired of struggling. I have been living in a low-simmering panic for a year now. I’m tired.

Also, I’m out of smoke, so please take a hit for me. Thanks for listening, I needed to get it out.
