*Many hugs* I really do feel for you as I did the single parent thing with an obstructive and unsupportive ex, no money, the custody stuff etc and it's hell :/ All I can say is, you do come out the other side eventually, and a stronger person for it, so hang in there m'dear!

And it's easy to feel intimidated by the whole court process, and the notion of having a child taken off you is terrifying in itself - but they ain't stupid in the courts - it's obvious when somebody's a good parent and the other party is playing power games :)
