How is everyone?
I'm doing okay.... This week has been full of baby daddy drama. My experience and I have joint custody. He works Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. 9am to 7pm. When we were working this Custody out he told me he did Not work on Thursday so I decided to be fair, and let him have him Wednesday.
Come to find out, my Ikey was at a babysitter Thursday. Then the babysitter had to work so they passed him along to someone else.
I was furious. I should watch my child while his dad is working. Not a stranger or any babysitter.
His dad says it's not fair if I watch him because i will have more hours with him.... So what!? It's not about how many parenting hours you have, it's what's best for the child.
Did I mention I live in the same home division, two houses down?
Ugh.... Let's just say I'm fighting back and standing up for myself.
Any one who has been in a controlling relationship can understand just how big of a deal standing up for yourself is!
Any advice? Anyone else been in a similar situation?
This whole mess is giving me horrible anxiety and making it difficult to control my depression. I have done everything possible to everything right and make it easy, but I'm still getting shoved around. I love my baby so much, and I will take care of him and fight for him.
Casey, you are a great Momma, and you will always do what is best for your son. You know what you want to do as a parents, and what not to do. As unfortunate as it is that the Dad does not seem to fully understand his responsibility as a parent, your son will grow up knowing what a true parent is, and what it is like to be cared for, and most importantly, loved.
