Today is my final trial date for my divorce. I am so scared and nervous to go. I want this divorce. I wanted my life back and that's why I'm doing this. But I am so scared that I will lose my daughter.I'm a great mother and have always provided everything for her. My stbx would rather drink and work than spend time with his daughter and wife.
Please help me calm down!!!! 
Been there! He actually filed for custody!! He never worked and I was leaving a violent relationship. (I was bent backwards over the sink with his hands around my throat and my vision fading to black). And he had the GALL to file for custody!
While I knew it could never happen, it didnt' stop me from stressing over it.
YOu are going to be ok. Nervous and scared are just part of it. When you walk out of there, you will be amazed how light your shoulders feel once that weight has been lifted.
We're all with ya!

I don't know very much about this stuff but just wanted to send you good vibes and hugs! I'm sure that if you're a good mother and your husband is irresponsible, you will end up with the child. I've heard that the mother usually ends up with the child anyway...
Sending hugs & best wishes your way ! I'm sure everything will work out for you - been there too, my ex was sure he would get custody of our boys ( he had a GF & said they would be a real family 
) but I got custody.
It is very scary,thinking you could lose your kids & they know that but mums usually keep custody & I'm sure you will too 
Thank You all for your kind words... I got full custody of my daughter just what I wanted!! I love my daughter and would do anything for her!!!
Congrats! I'd been there; next month will be nine years! I was scared, too...
Thank you all sooooooooo much!!! Now all I'm gonna have to worry about is her visatation with her father.. He gets her every Wednesday and every other weekend. Oh and just found out I have already been replaced with a new woman... Just divorced yesterday and I'm already replaced...

boy, he sure works fast 
Good luck with the visitation. Are you worried about him taking her or something like that or just worried about the stress of seeing him and whatnot?
No I'm not worried about him taking her.. it's more along the lines that he never wanted anything to do with her when we lived there... Why now?? The only good thing is a majority of the time they stay at his mothers so I know she is safe with her but it's just him that I don't trust.. give you a good example.. the last weekend he got her he worked a double shift at work which is 16hrs straight.. he had an hour of sleep and came and got her. If I would have known when he came to get her she would have never went....

Oh, I can see why you would be worried then. It's important that he at least be awake! How old is your daughter? Maybe you can have her call you if he falls asleep or something like that...
