Seventeen thousand reasons to fight

It's been a while since my last post, and many reasons why.  Emotional and physical.  I had been feeling so overwhelmed by everything that when I came here to write I couldn't make sense of what was in my head to get it all down.

What's changed is I have decided not to study for the rest of the year.  It was just adding way to much stress to an already stressful life.  So that has freed up some space in this head to concentrate on my continuing my fight to come home.  And to give you all an update.

The craziness has continued with co-parenting but I shan't bore you with all the details.  Lets just say that to any reasonable person what has been happening around here is pretty crazy.  But all in all my main focus is DS and DD.  Making sure that life is as normal for them as possible.

So we are VERY close to our final day in court, several weeks fingers crossed.  At the moment they are just trying to make sure that we are all available on the dates they want the hearing to be held.  

The hearing will be days long with some people flying internationally to be here to support my application.

The tittle of this post is a subtle or not so,  way of saying how much this hearing is going to cost me. To this point I have represented myself but now it is getting way serious and I need to hand over to the professionals.  And it is expensive.  But I refuse to freak out, there is no price on being close to your family and giving your children the best environment to grow up in, so I refuse to dwell on the cost.

Do I have that much money, HELL no.  This is where I am relying on the universe to help out.  I have a good relationship with my lawyer and the expectations have been set regarding payment, which helps.  That said he doesn't work for free.  I have a job in Melbourne which gives him some comfort around my ability to continue to repay him once we move (if we move).  

The cost of this will not stop me from fighting for what I believe is right, what I was promised and what is best for my children. 

So the plan is to ramp up the blogging again now as this is when I need you all behind me.
