Give up custody

What would happen if I gave up custody of my toddler daughter. To the father. I'm tired of being taken to court and threats of being taken to court. I'm at my breaking point. I'm crying all day thinking about all the possible ways I've tried to parent with him. It's not about him paying child support because his disability benefit pays it. There's not going to be nothing left of me mentally to take care of my daughter. I'm that tired!!

I've been taken to court for four years my son is 5 now fight for your baby!!!!!! I have been fighting for years and the time he was able to get him over night he abused my son and let his girlfriend touch him. Do not give up ur baby just because you're tired of going back and forth to court. That's what the father wants you to do!

Worst feeling in the world dealing with these demons. Did the judge offer any relief what so ever

My mom went through the same but never would’ve given up on us. My dad had way more money and fought hard but my mom pushed through because we were her world. We got through it. She got custody and we visited my dad.

What do you need to heal? Because once you're on that road the hard days aren't so hard

I was able to get a protective order he's not allowed near my son

no, sorry. I was 6 months old when my parents split and the legal fights continued until I was about 10. I don’t know much about them.

I just went through this with my youngest. I haven’t seen her in a month and it hurts but I do have another child to raise and everything took a mental emotional and physical toll on me. I get it. I hope In the future I’m in a space where I can get to at least spend time with my girl. Its a hard decision but honestly if there’s nothing left of you how can you even attempt to care for your child. Just know once you’re down that road its hard to go back.
