"The poly community" isn't going to help me raise my kids
I think you might be surprised there. A lot of polyfolk have kids about the same age as yours; you might be able network with some of them and work out afterschool rotations and stuff like that. Get in touch with Akien and Dawn about it--I'm sure they can recommend resources for you. Some of us childfree types would be willing to babysit, too, though I'm too far away to really make that offer more than once in a while. But the offer is made nonetheless.
That's what community means. That's what community does. If that's the situation you end up being in--and I think you could very conceivably win a custody battle--then we will be there for you, guaranteed.
You're in my thoughts, hon. *hugs* Hang in there. And don't give up without a fight!
