ohio25 Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Hi I am new to this forum but I am looking for some help. I am a single mother of a 3mo old and curently seeing his father. But lately things aren't going well and I want out. I feel like I should stay because of my son but I am not happy. I just don't know what to do. We fight all the time and I can't get him to help me with our kid so I thought I would be better off on my own in an appartment. I just don't know what to do. Can anyone help me?
Pookette Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 It's better to leave now when your child may not consciously remember you two fighting. Don't drag it out for the sake of the child if he's a deadbeat. I have a friend with two children whose father is there once in a while. They start fighting in front of the children and swearing and now the oldest child is starting to act out. He hits people, swears (he's only 3) and is a little brat, really. Mom didn't have the guts to get rid of dad, now her children are seeing this and remembering it.
