No you are not an abandoner. An abandoner would not be stressing about not being with her children and trying to figure out how to make that happen.

Byzantine had some good advice. Start establishing a record of involvement with your children. Even if you can't pay a lot of child support, pick up little things when you can (pair of shoes, toys, whatever) and save receipts (for court). Sounds like your ex might fight you and try to present you as a bad mother. Get your duckies in a row. These things can get nasty. I used to work with parents going through custody issues. All is fair in love and WAR. Child custody can be war.

Don't doubt your ability or right to parent. It's obvious you love your children. Strap on your boots. You might have to do some a**kickin'
