Friend of the court

So I recently filed for child support from my sons dad, whom I am no longer with. He was very manipulative and mentally and emotionally abusive. He was also an alcoholic. I just got paperwork to fill out to continue the process and while doing so nearly had a panic attack.
Has anyone else been through this? Am I being dramatic here? Something about legal stuff makes me feel so anxious is that common with anyone else?
Please be kind!

I literally freak out every time him and his family messaged me I straight up have panic attacks about it too, my sisters wants me to file for harassment to his mom but it stresses me out so bad but she’s gonna go with me , definitely not overdramatic just make sure you have a good support system don’t be scared to ask for help from family! I hate all the legal stuff I’m sorry you have to go though it too momma and I hope everything works out in your favour

You not being dramatic! It could be cause of all the manipulation, mental and emotional abuse, and the him being an alcoholic!

Just stand your ground, don't let him manipulate you. And do this for you and your baby so you can support him better! Plus your baby deserves that child support.

We had to do some legal stuff regarding my step dad, and I was there for my mom cause she was so scared..

I hope everything works out for you both!
