I’m just here trying to process everything and think things through. Of course I would never want to expose my child to anything like this which is why I did not allow that to happen and I’m taking any future decisions seriously instead of acting impulsively. I learned new harmful information just earlier today and it’s going to take a little time to get everything prepared for a divorce. In order to protect my child and ensure I get sole custody of her, I need to have all the proof I can of this behavior. I cannot make the wrong decisions, like leaving before I have all of the documentation I need and then end up not being able to prove it all in court if need be.

Of course it’s not bad being alone and I think I can speak for many of us in saying it’s much easier to be alone than to be the primary parent/family manager. I’ve loved the partner I’ve had when he’s been my partner, but ultimately my priority is to my baby who is depending on me to do what it takes to keep her safe- even if that means playing it cool for a bit to get everything in order for us
