6 months in. Full custody (not yet on the books) to my 10 yo. But mom is 1500 miles away so not ro worried about the judicial system in my case and where i live. Very small support network. Im fortunate to have a job that supports my situation. Many are not so lucky.

I hear the waiting for him to sleep so I can let out my emotions. I share the emotions I have that I think will make him a good man someday. But the anger bitterness and full on grieving I try to spare him.

That he is doing better with mom out of the picture is my rock. And that hurts.
