The Unknown

By Shandy Saturday, February 02, 2008

I hate the unknown!  I have done everything I can think of to help my case on Monday.  I have been trying to stay level headed, but it is so hard.  My baby is my life I have done everything for him since he was born.  I don't want them to decide I have to stay in NC because I need to be around MY family and my son would be better in this area because there are better schools and more opportunities.  Plus many aunts/uncles/cousins to be around.  I hope the judge sees it this way. Pray, cross your fingers, or whatever you think will help me please. 

 

I need to stay focused and strong.

Can People Change???

Do you have someone from your family who can come with you to court and tell the judge that you will be living with them?  You have to have a "backup" plan in case something happens again.  You need someone with you until your medication is right and have to have a back up plan in place just in case you need to be hospitalized again.  If you had a suicide attempt before they may worry about what will happen to the baby if you get that low again.

I'm sure you will have to be stable for a certain amount of time before they will feel you can care for your baby.  I know it's not fair.  I know it really stinks.  You may actually have to live with just visitation for a short amount of time unless you can somehow prove to the judge that you can provide a stable home for him.

Good luck and I hope it all works out for you.

Just know that others are praying for you and try to surround yourself with as many positive people as possible and every time things seem scary or immpossible think back on the happiest moment that you have had so far with that precious baby of yours and remember that you need to have many more happy memories with that baby. And I know at times when things get to heavy to deal with and you feel like your going to break even the most precious thought and most positive people seem like they can't help but, just keep pushing through the hard stuff and remember you have to make it no matter what. You can do it because so many people go through worse every day. And I can just bet even though I don't know you, you have the strength to do what you have to do. Heart my heart reaches out to you and if i could i would give you all the strength i have in me to get you through the very scary unknown. Don't worry Shandy I'm sure it will all work itself out to benefit you and that darling angel of yours in the end.

I wont judge because with some of my behavior i am in no place to judge anyone. and i cant promise i'll always be on-line when you need me but i'll try my best to be another ear to listen and another mind to provide support and advice to the best of my ability.
