Custody transferred after nine years: thank you SPARC

[Kalkir]

On Sept 30, my son was transferred to my primary custody at age 13.  It was the wisdom and support that I gathered on this site 9 years ago that allowed me to persevere and be here at the time I was needed.  His mother made a large gamble in a relocation hearing in a last effort to remove me from his life, and although I was pro se against an experienced relocation attorney, my ex failed in the attempt.


Now my son gets to speak to both parents everyday.  Now he gets to see his mother whenever it is feasible.  Now my son can heal from being torn apart so much as he has been. 

Thank you everyone who helped me in the early years, and thank you for being here in this season of rejoicing.  For you old timers, I was here as Lacunar back then.  For some reason I could not get that name to work anymore, so I logged in as Kalkir.

If you are down, hurt, on the point of despair: DO NOT GIVE UP.  Every little thing you do every day will brings it own reward, and you can make it through to the other side.

Congratulations on succeeding in your endeavor to be there for your child no matter the costs (mostly emotional).
