โIf you've just found this place, a year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. I remember custody hearing in March like it was yesterday. These days I mostly feel like me. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. From someone who gets it.โ
โIf you're scared right now, I get it. I was right where you are a few years back. The worst part was legal aid refused. I went on vacation in the summer and actually relaxed. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold.โ
โI'm not going to tell you it's easy. It's not. The paperwork is a nightmare. The bills keep coming. And some days you'll want to curl up and not deal with any of it. But you'll get through. I started with one thing at a time. The gym helps me. Find your one thing. And don't be afraid to ask for help. You're not alone in this.โ
โSorry, this got long. If you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. A free legal clinic helped me fill in the forms. Go slowly.โ
