[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are times in life when you keep going because there is no other option. It sounds like you’re in that phase right now.

I hope you can take some comfort in knowing that there is an end date. This will be over at some point in the near future, and until then, focus on the light at the end of the tunnel.

OP here. This comment and others have kept me going all week.

I had a very unexpectedly bad interaction with the custody evaluator today and unfortunately I think that my documentation efforts and late nights and stupid printer jams are all for naught.

They hadn’t read even the basics of their own questionnaire 2 months into the process and were confused about basic facts of our lives. They said that anything one of my DCs had said was probably a lie because “that’s how kids [their age, not young]” are. Then they asked what I did for STBX to act as I alleged he did and asked if I could see it from his perspective and describe that.

Then they told me my kids are “fine”, (even though they said they haven’t had time to contact their therapists yet), and that “kids are resilient” and “need both parents.”

I think that I expected this outcome based on horror stories I’ve read, and maybe all my documentation and prep efforts have  just been a way of pretending I had any influence in an pre-determined outcome.

If you’re religious, say a prayer for my kids.[/quote]
