Hi- I am new to the forum and website and am here looking for some supportive words and advise.
My situation is very difficult and I often wonder how I ever even got into it in the first place. I was in an emotionally abusive marriage for 6 years and with one child. I was a stay at home mother to my son for the first 5 years of his life and dedicated everything to him. Once he started school he started to have behavioral and social difficulties. My ex had more money than me and promised he would help by placing our son in a private school. He never did this and it was all lies and manipulation tactic to steal my son from me.
My son has high functioning autism/ asbergers/ tic disorder. My ex is denying all of it. My ex has isolated me from my son and entire family. He is making my life * every single day because I desire to be in my son's life. He has financially destroyed me, destroyed me emotionally and has turned my son against me. I am fighting in court to try and get my son back but the harder I fight the more he makes my life *.
I don't see how I can ever distance myself unless I give up everything including my precious child that I devoted my life to!
I have been in therapy but have not found one single therapist yet that I have clicked with. The last one made me feel worse than before. This is just the beginning of my journey to try and heal.
If anyone can share any thoughts with me as to their experiences or advice it would be very much appreciated.
Thank you kindly!
