Try to take 1 step forward to get knocked back 10!

Am I the only one that feels like every time you try to take a positive step forward or be proactive in the divorce process everything just comes back to slap you in the face like try again ! And you starting back further than before! I feel like no matter how positive I try to be, rise above my soon to be ex childish antics I’m still the one paying the cost! Having to be the bigger person ... letting my concerns & terms take the backseat while he get to have the upper hand! Like wtf!!

I swear it’s times like things where I really question myself is it worth the fight?! How much more of this circus can I handle?! Then I regroup and say this is for your daughter to provide with a stable environment while going thru this madness but I’m human I have my breaking points & limits when will I catch a freaking break and start to see the light at the end of the tunnel!!

I so feel you! There have been so many days this past year I could have written your words myself. I separated August of 2018 and the divorce finalized July of 2019 and I am still having days (and weeks, and months) like this. This entire situation sucks for us that are genuinely fighting for what our children need and deserve. I wish I could answer the "when will it end", but I still don't see the light at the end of the tunnel myself. But I will keep you in my prayers.
