I split with my kid’s mom a month ago, and it’s been a month since I’ve seen my 8‑month‑old.
Found out she was cheating less than a week after my birthday been going on for over two years.
Told her I didn’t want her in the house while I was there, so she bounced to her mom’s and took our daughter.
She’s only offering the bare‑minimum visit: 3 hours on weekdays, one day on the weekend.
I’ve got a massive loot box of proof that her behavior is all over the map, thanks to the phone I was paying for. I kept the receipts.
I’m scared the judge will get duped by her BS and label me the noob for not taking whatever scraps they hand over.
I grind work all week, then I’m off all weekend.
My days are stuck in grief mode feeling low on HP.
I miss my daughter more tha n anything. I even missed her first Halloween.
To add extra raid boss drama, she has a kid with an ex, and that dude is feeding her advice that makes getting decent parenting time feel impossible.
I swear I’m not spiteful or abusive. I just want to see my daughter and my stepdaughter.
Now both sides have lawyers, and I’m waiting for them to make the next move, which just makes me feel even more powerless.
I don’t know how to respawn my control other than hoping someone will step in and fight for my dad rights.
