See a lawyer. Many will do the first appointment for free. See the lawyer FIRST so s/he can help you plan the best way to Get Out.

This is getting hilarious. The thread is almost four years old, the OP never returned to it and it's slowly gathering momentum as more posters insist on responding without reading even the last few posts. ROFL.

1. Document everything. Take photos of his stash of pot.
2. Take your child and drive to your parents. If they won't take you in, then drive to the nearest women's shelter.
3. Turn him in for possession.
4. Never, ever look back.

Ah. I should have known.

Given the number of posts on the subject, I just figured that we were celebrating, Indecisive, Insecure Women Who Need Advice From Total Strangers To Do The Obvious Day.

Time to start using your brain.

First of all, pretend that *nothing* is wrong. Be sweet, charming, loving, etc. to him for the next six months. During that time DOCUMENT everything he does that is illegal. Take as many pictures/videos as possible of him smoking pot. *anything* that will bolster your case for custody. Be smart about it, not OBVIOUS, for God's sake.

Talk with your mother about her asking for custody instead of you. It is easier for older, established people (assuming that she is a little more stable), getting custody of grandchilden.

In six months, find an attorney and file for custody. By this time you will hopefully have tons of ammo showing that he is an unfit parent and that the child will be better off with you. In fact, you need to ask for supervised visitation.

I would also get into counseling yourself so that you improve your self esteem enough to not pick a loser next time. Oh, and please wait until you are married to have children. Better yet, maybe one is enough, ya think?

LOL.... maybe, just maybe... some hapless person in the same situation might read this thread and become less of what you mentioned.

See threads 33 through 44. It's actually almost four years old. Rather creeps me out that so many people don't/won't read before jumping in.
