Never Married, But Custody Battle....so sad

Never been married, but I have an amazing, perfectly perfect little boy!

His father is a local lawyer, and sadly is also very Abusive. We are currently free of the abuse, but litigation abuse is not a joke!

I think anyone who needs help with anxiety management, getting more and more opportunities to help provide perspective is so much help.
