Hi Buffy
Like most of us here I know that a little empathy & understanding can go a long way. We hear you! For me personally it has taken 3 yrs to finally realize & accept that this whole custody situation is just a huge game of patience. You know what they say about patience..? It is a virtue...well I plan to be a very virtuious old lady one day...(yes it will take a lifetime!) Patience, patience, patience!
And as for all the control freaks out there who love to manipulate & get off hurting others (esp the mother of their children) someone needs to let them know that they cant/wont control the fact that our kids will all grow up! They will also make their own choices for themselves too when they do...
So be patient. Be strong. And most of all be kind to yourself too!
"Mummyhugs" to you from Amanda.
PS "Mummyhugs" are the best!! You know the ones that help to mend broken hearts & dry tears...the ones that only us mummies have!

Hello,
I was searching the web, once again for help, and I found this site. My situation is long and very complex, but I will give the short version. I am mom to 4 little boys, whom reside in America with their Father's (I was married twice before)2 sons to each so called father. I live here now in Au with my husband whom is a aussie. I left America cuz I have bipolar disorder and lost my job, my home, everything. at the time I thought it was in my children's best interest, because I could no longer provide for them. It has been over 2 yrs now...with every passing day I feel worse, my bipolar is getting worse, as I was in hospital 3 weeks ago. The sad bit is no one will help me to establish contact with them. i call but get hung up on, the letters go unanswered. I feel worthless....I made up a website for my boys which tells more about us and our story. the site is: www.mommyluvsu.com I hope ppl will see it and maybe someone will help. i encourage you all to look at it and get as many ppl to see it. and if any one has any kinds words or suggestions, PLEASE help
Buffy
