Thank you for your words of support. I am not to worried about him getting custody but I worry about visitation. In the almost three years that I was with him he saw his other children twice. Both times were a year and a half or more. I do not want that for my son. I have no idea which way the court will go on visitation but my lawyer said we are going to fight for him to have to pass drug tests and for him to only be allowed supervised visitation. If he could get his life together, I would love for my son to have a father. I just don’t see that happening though.
