i'm scared

....that's all.
I take DD to get swabbed for the paternity test on Friday and our scheduling conference is Jan 9th. I talked to his STBXW the other day and she was telling me how irrational & uncalled for he was at their scheduling conference last week (he's petitioned the court for sole physical & legal custody of their 3kids because he doesn't like that they take baths at night and not in the morning, her boyfriend (of 2+ years) lives there with them, and she had a sitter put the kids on the bus one morning because she had to go to work early. Seriously, I read his petition and it's ridiculous!)
I've never had to do anything involving the courts other than for work (yeah i work in the very courthouse that my hearing is coming up in, talk about embarassing that everyone now knows my business). So it's just a bit nerve wrecking to me. The unknowns of what's going on. I did apply for legal aid and they said it "sounds like" I qualify but they can't complete my application until we get paternity established. So as SOON as that's done, I'll be reapplying definitely.
No real point to this post I guess, just needed to get it out and off of my mind. It's been an amazing 3 months & it sucks that now the "fun" is about to start. I wish he'd just disappear & go back to his home country! But wishes are reserved for Disney movies
Happy Monday ladies

Re: i'm scared
Be strong, Momma! And remember- You ARE Strong! You have done everything right for her and you are a great momma. I was so nervous this morning I thought I'd faint, but then I saw him and realized HE was probably really going to faint from nerves and all of my reservations went out the window. You are doing the right thing. We've just managed to have children with idiots. And don't be embarassed about Anything! You're a single mom in a tough situation.
