UPDATE: Losing Isaiah

Ok. My baby's father and I both took drug tests. John, of course, failed and I passed. So, a custody decision was made. I keep Isaiah primarily and John has supervised visitation in VA (He lives in Nevada). Of course he doesn't like that. So, we have mediation on Nov. 17th. Now his MOTHER is trying to gain custody of my son. She said some very rude things about me. She said I'm not a fit mother and that she has more experience than I do at raising a child. Well of course she does, she's like 50 years old. She also said that I am overwhelmed with the duties of motherhood and I can't handle it. What upsets me is that I offered to let them visit with Isaiah during the summer in Nevada from his birthday (May 17th) to August 1 of every year until he starts school. Then he'd visit from when his summer started to the week before school starts back up and I would take him there and come back to get him by plane so they wouldn't have to pay for anything. They wouldn't take that. They'd rather have him full time and let me visit with him in Nevada on holidays. I don't understand why anyone would want to take a child away from his/her mother when the mother is fit, financailly stable and smart about making decisions. It's a mess. We have a trial hearing on Jan 4, 2006 with a jury and everything. Its getting that serious. I'm not going to let go of my son. They think they can scare me into letting him go, but it won't happen. I'll face whatever I need to face to keep him. I know I'll get through this. I just wanted keep you all updated. Thank you for your prayers. PUSH!
