@arpie I don’t think the children’s father will be much help. The DV in the marriage has continued long past the divorce and there is the very distinct possibility he will take me back to court to take the kids completely by claiming I am incapacitated.

What would have been more helpful is more child support while I am unable to work, but even asking for that could be asking for trouble.

In terms of decisions I want everything they can throw at it that will have a positive outcome and give me the best chances of avoiding recurrence, depending on the results of course. All this time thinking about it does eat at me quietly but I’m pretty good at reminding myself that it is anxiety and doing something to distract myself and calm down. Melatonin is also helping at night.
