[quote=Anonymous]Long and short: my life is a mess, by any measure. I left my ex two years ago when my kids were an infant and a toddler, and it’s been a huge struggle to create stability since. Employment has been unsteady, I’ve had no chance to rebuild my financial life, and I’ve barely been getting by. I’ve just made the decision to get sober - I was, but I relapsed last summer. The fact is, my ex can provide more stability than I can and he (not unknindly) suggested keeping them for a while while I get on my feet. I hate this idea but I simply cannot provide my kids what they need right now. I am barely functioning myself. I’m not sure what I’m looking for here, but I just need to know that if I let him have custody now it won’t be a forever thing. I need help and I don’t know how to continue.[/quote]
