Has anyone else been through this?

So I wake up at 6am. My stomach is tied in knots again and I have to rush to the bathroom. I had another "nightmare". I'm haunted in my dreams with the possiblity if maybe I had just said more... we'd still have our daughter. I can't imagine how anyone who knows us and the situations BM has put SD in would side with her. I'm terrified that my munchkin is going to miss out on so much because we let this happen. I should have been more forceful. I should have stood up for myself and made the judge hear me out. Then maybe he would have understood better.

Let it snow

It snowed a big dump last night and my little hometown looks like a beautiful Christmas postcard. However I am sitting here in my house coat feeling sick to my stomache. I should have my munchkin with me today. We should be outside sliding down my front lawn on one of those snow saucers that I have in my garage, or building a snowman. We had so much fun last winter. It kills me to know that we wont get the chance to play all the games that we should be playing. Instead she's been shipped off to her grandmothers house for some reason I can't understand.

Disappointed in myself.

I have no idea whats wrong with me but ever since the judge told us (friday) that my SD3 will be leaving to live with her mom I can't stand to be around her. I flip from severely depressed, to angry and annoyed, and I just can't seem to control it. I love this little girl more then anything before, and now it seems like since she's going to be leaving anyways I just can't wait for her to be gone.

Hmm... this is for MM. I already wrote to BM now heres one for the future SF of my SD.

Dear future SF of my SD,

I wish I could warn you what you are in for, but there is no way I could. However here are a few things you can look forward to.

All the extra stuff you are doing around the house is going to become expected and nessacary if you like to keep a clean home. And since I know you, I know you do.

The laundry you are doing for two right now, can be multiplied by two. Yea I know SD is only three and her clothes are small, however have you ever tried to potty train a kid? You have no idea what a pain laundry can be.

Help for goodbye?

How do Dh and I tell his three year old daughter that she is going far away and will not be back for a long time?
How do we express that we don't like this idea without blaming anyone for it?

Read WTF for more info on why.

WTF

I have lost all faith in the Family Court system. I have no idea how a judge can rip a three year old girl away from her father who has never done anything without thinking about her. He has held the same job for the last 7 years, made a home for her that has not changed in the last year, and has provided her with steady caregivers who have always been family and has never just dissappeared from her life. I quit. There is nothing to hope for now because if the BM does anything that would merit changing the out come of the trial today it is going to really hurt my beloved SD.

Well things can only go up from here right?

What a week, already! I quit. I want to curl up in a ball and just cry untill there is nothing left of the stress and pain.
Saturday I was at my best friend's house. She lives with a 57 year old man who is like a father to her. He opened his arms to her whole family (4 kids, her fiance and herself) This says alot about charactor. Her two oldest were visiting their father at an on-suite thing at her mothers house. (He is a known user who is claiming to be clean). Her room mate came home from work early and went to bed at 630ish. By 7pm he was snoring.

I said I would try this

I said I would try this idea that I stole from middle momma.

BM,
I have known you forever. You were one of the young women I was supposed to mentor. You are one of my best friends little sisters. You used to run to me with questions about boys, or religion.

I should have known we would have problems when you would call when me and DH were first dating, and try to tell me he was saying stuff he wasn't. You caused soo many fights then. A girl of 16, calling her sister's 18 year old friend causing shit. You drove my insecure younger self crazy, and we broke up.

The stresses of trials...

On Thursday the 8th of October my DH is going to a trial to fight for sole custody of his 3 year old daughter. I have had to step out of helping him organize things for this trial because it was just way too much for me to deal with. He plans things in a different way then I do. I am not a procrastinator and he is. But he does always seem to have things finished in time, so I stepped out and just let him go with it.
