Update on custody battle
Hi SR friends.
Thank you all for your recent support.
My lawyer is at present preparing my defence & wishes to include reference to XH's drug use.
Although I feel this is going to start a war between us maybe it really is necessary to get all the necessary information out there.
Why do I even feel I want to hide it?
Maybe it's because I've dealt with the past & have moved on & don't want to go back to facing those issues?
Maybe it's because I'm in a relationship with a recovering alcoholic & I don't wish him to be dragged through it? He now has 7 months sober - yay.
Maybe I'm afraid of the confrontation of XH in mediation or court?
Maybe I'm scared he'll spread lies about me to the court?
I've been upfront & honest about things with my lawyer.
I admitted my own drug use 61/2 years ago & how I self referred myself to rehab (all recorded at hospital) & how I've never looked back & will never return to drugs. I am more than happy to have a hair follicle sample done.
I start my court counselling today.
I would like my SR friends to pray & support me through this.
I have been a good Mum & my kids are excelling.
I must trust in my higher power now.
Thanks for listening.
