my daughter is only 3 months old and I'm currently fighting for sole custody cuz of her dad's sexual and physical abuse drug and alcohol use..and it seriously depresses the he'll outta me thinking about if I do win it she will never get to do fathers day gifts in church, or do donuts with dad ect...and it trips me up. like I seriously fear for her going over to his house unsupervised but am I doing the right thing for her? or am I depriving her from ever having a dad in her life.
I grew up without a dad and it took a while for teachers and stuff to catch on, however all of my father's day, Christmas, any kind of cards we did at school went to my grandpa and he was so happy and appreciative that it didn't matter that I had a dad. there is so much more for your child to look forward to, especially if their father is the way you say. protect your baby!
@lesleyraesmommy, worst case- she will be upset for a few years then she will realize once she gets old enough to understand that you did what was best for her
@b3autifulm3ss, @roche.mommy6435 thanks ladies I just didn't know how I should feel for her and my mom says it's possible she may grow up resenting me cuz I kept him away
love!! having no dad is better than her getting hurt by him mentally or physically. i grew up without a dad because he left us. she may not understand when shes little but when she gets older she will. i also grew up with my brother who is a child molester. im one of his victims so yes love. you are doing the right thing. never doubt yourself.
@lesleyraesmommy, you are absolutely doing the right thing for your child!!! You are not going to deprive her of ever having a relationship with her father- her father has every right to go back to court later if he cleans up his act... worst case you are lighting a fire under his POS ass to shape up or lose the rights to his child forever... hang in there you got this momma
I never grew up with a mother or father. Every mother's day and father's day went to my grandparents or an aunt and uncle. Your doing the right thing. Protect your child and one day your baby will thank you for it.
