Hi, I resonate with you all, please accept my respect and love , all of you, for standing and battling on.If we are here, this means we are still trying , and that is a symbol of Boldness itself.

About me, I always thought I was great at struggling and recovering,but today I am feeling the pangs on anxiety.

I cannot breathe, I cannot rest, I lost appetite, I am in a state of mind constantly terrified.

Reason?

Husband want to take our son to his country, to visit his parents, for a week or so.

He does not want to take me, because he knows conflicts will arise.

He wants to enjoy with his family and he wants his family to enjoy time with our son.

My parents have come to visit me here, which is why he has decided to go.

He even forgot the dates he planned to go are falling on my birthday . Lol.

I will NOT let me child go with his dad alone.

 

HOW DO I STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING? CLOSE TO PASSING OUT.

NO JUDGEMENT PLEASE, ANXIETY IS NOT SIMPLE.

Dear RisingFromMyAshes

Hello and welcome. Not sure if your concern is about the anxiety you are experiencing or about allowing your son to leave the country without you. Sophie has made some suggestions about your anxiety. I suggest if you have concerns about your son leaving with his father that you consult a lawyer.

I do not know if your husband can take your son without your permission. Did you sign his passport or give permission when he applied for a passport? In any event you need proper legal advice on this topic. If money is a problem try the Women's Legal Service in your state.
