This is a throwaway account because I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if I’m being stalked on Reddit — it’s happening everywhere else in my life.

I’m in the middle of a major custody battle and my divorce isn’t finalized. I haven’t seen my kids in months because of accusations that are completely baseless and will eventually fall apart.

I have a teenager, and their mother has really worked hard to make me look like the worst person imaginable. It’s taken a toll.

I can’t shake this feeling in my gut that once everything finally settles, my teenager might tell me they don’t want me in their life anymore. It’s a horrible thing to even imagine, but I’m trying to mentally prepare myself for how to deal with it — and more importantly, how to respond if it happens.

Any suggestions?
