I am going through a divorce. He, to say the least is satan reincarnated. He took my son, my car and all the money and fled to Idaho...I live in Arizona. He was military, we moved alot and I gave up everything, marrying him at 17 and following him around the country to make sure HIS career thrived. I am now 25 and have no more skills than a food service worker...and the thought of going back to work with a bunch of teenagers...and angry people complaining about cold burgers makes me sick. He wants child support even though he makes 4 grand a month...half from "disability" from the army. He was an alcoholic and hit me...thats why I left in the first place...now I have nothing and he is ruining my life.... and I suffer and cry every night from the loss of my son... is there anyone out there that has gone or is going through what I am going through? Please reach out...I dont know how much more of this ****ty worthless life I can take.... My heart is in Idaho, my son, the reason I lived and breathed is in Idaho and I have no way of getting there...someone please reach out....someone please tell me I am not the only one....
Why didn't you take your child, car and money when you left him? Did you not have a lawyer? Without knowing details there's always 2 sides to every story, Sounds like you need a plan, get a job even if it's flipping burgers, save your money and get out there, you could prob get a cheap rideshare thru craigslist and you prob. Need to go to legal aid for help
That means you have been to court. What did your attorney say? What did your husband's CO say? The military tends to take the bad behavior of soldiers very seriously. When you reported the abuse, what was their response?
This echoes of what a friend of mine went through 20 years ago. She's doing pretty well now.
Move close to your son, and work, work, work!
Yes, food service can be nasty, I've been through good and bad with it. Stop thinking of all that can go wrong and think about what can go right. People come to work in food service from all walks of life, much like retail.
I'm sorry that you're missing your son, I can't imagine how that feels.

I'm confused, I'm not trying to doubt what you say or give you a hard time, but some of what you've said is a little conflicting. Did you lose custody of your son (by court order) or did you husband just up and take him away without your (or the courts) consent? If the latter, you need to go to the police since this may be considered domestic kidnapping or parental child abduction. If you lost custody by court order, I'm sorry, but apart from getting a new, better lawyer and trying again, there's nothing you can do. And if you're unwilling to work to pay for that lawyer, there's definitely nothing you can do. I know a menial job is disheartening but getting your son back should be motivation enough to put up with it. Would you not do anything to get him back? Even work in a menial job so you can save up enough to pay for a lawyer to take your husband to court?
However, if you don't have work or just get by somehow, how did you wanna raise your child if you would win custody?
Is your ex abusive to your son as well?
Judges usually don't just take away children from their mother. It would be great if you could give us a little more details.
