Ok so a huge situation I'm in and trying to make heads and tails of everything before my due date in early may. I had ben hooking up with the father of my baby for 9 months before I found put I was pregnant and I knew the day I told him he wasn't going to change any well nearly a month later I find out that during the 9 months he was seeing me he started dating a girl that I did not know about and by the time he found out he got me pregnant they had already been together for 6 months. Well they are still together and due to feeling harassed I had to cut contact with him and his family but he also changed his number as well. Well now I'm worried about a future custody battle cuz I know in fl unmarried parents have shared custody but I'm not sure if I trust him even with visitations I'm scared he'll try to take my baby. And I know you can't do that without proving me unfit as a mother and I know there is no way on earth pig doing that unless you count my living conditions. I pay my rent and make sure bills are paid and good is in the fridge but the ppl I live with ate less than favorable to have children around. Not cuz they would hurt them but because of how they ate and what they do. I wouldn't be here myself but I can't afford nothing slade working as lil hours as I am. I know the father knows all of this and I know he'd use it adhesions me if he could prove out was unfit living conditions for a child. I'm just not sure I've never ben in this situation and hate being in out I'm just trying to figure everything out cuz I want to provide the best u can for my baby. Advice opinions would be great thanks
What does your former boyfriend (the father of the baby) think about all of this? You two might not be together anymore but that doesn't necessarily mean that you can't cooperate with each and raise this baby together.
Talk with him. In the meantime, take care of yourself - eat well, get plenty of rest and try not to stress out too much. Good luck.
Is the baby's father really interested in visitations? I'd also be less concerned about a terrible custody battle and be more concerned about getting yourself into a safe situation to have and raise this child. It sounds as if where you live now is not a good environment based on what you said.
The father cheating or having another girlfriend does not make him unfit or unable to care for a child. You living with people who are unfit to be around children DOES make your situation less than ideal for that baby. Sounds to me like the baby just might be better off with dad until you get yourself together. If you do plan on keeping it, then you need to get yourself in a more appropriate living situation instead of worrying about what your ex is doing and who he is with. Good luck.
Perhaps putting up for adoption would be a wise decision if the OP doesn't think she can care for the baby adequately.
