Settlement Conference in an hour -Just want prayers and support.

I would have liked to ask for prayers sooner, but life is pretty non-stop these days. If you're around right now and you know my story of how I'm trying to get supervised visits for my son's father, please say a prayer for us. Above all, I want my child to be physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually safe.

I fear that my heart will jump into my throat during this process today. I pray for Serenity and Courage.

Thank yous!

Well, X is going to be an hour or more late, because he went to the wrong place. He has to take the bus. Let's get on with this!

Well, I wrote a big response that my phone ate. He signed my plan with only a few minor adjustments. Perhaps I will process some more tomorrow after I get some sleep.

Thank you. I bawled a lot when no one was in the room with me. In reading his treatment report, it was noted that he was visiting a "female friend" just before getting his DUI. That sh!t still hurts.

Also, there is no justice for the endless lies that he still tells me. He skipped his last visit with DS so that he could "be in jail" for 3 days for his DUI. I don't think people usually get 3 days and I'm pretty sure they don't allow Facebook in jail. He's not allowed to talk to me about anything other than our son until he's been sober for 12 months. Hopefully this will cushion me from his lies. I just want to bandage up this wound and let it heal already. I feel like I'm constantly getting stitches that I still need torn out.

I'm relieved. I don't have to see his face for the next 4 months, because the visit supervisor will transport, I think. Phwew!

Can't wait for DV support group tonight. Need something uplifting on my birthday.

Thank you all! I missed my support group due to getting off work late, but now DS and I are at an Indian restaurant and after that we'll go to the chocolate cafe.
