young mother in need of help (Family Law)

Tue, 19 Aug 2003 12:11:00 GMT

Maryland, I didn't think that I would get such a constructive response; although the replies kind of drifted off subjective matter. I do recieve temporary assistance, but I have also been a foster child so I am kind of used to the government taking care of me. I don't like having the government to help me, but I am not a mother that uses drugs or just sits around to collect a check. It's rough and I have to do what I have to do not for me but for my child. The new girlfriend probably doesn't mean any harm she loves her new man. I know how woman can be. I just don't understand how crazy he can be to think that I will allow him to obtain full custody of our child when he doesn't take care of him now, and it still won't be him taking care of our son it will be his new girlfriend. We argued on the phone about who does more, the last time he bought anything for his son was christmas and that was a cheesy outfit and some long johns. That is the point I am trying to make, I am a full time student and I have worked, it is hard when you have no family and no firends to help. It takes a whole villiage to raise achild, but I accept my responsibilty. I am not trying to shed a sob story because i know in court what I willl be dealing with. He throws everything in my face and says hurtful thing about my past, I am strong enough to deal with that. i know that we have a child together. I have taken the beatings and abuse so he could know his son. It has been going on for five years and my son will be six soon. It has to stop somewhere. It is hard because I never knew my father, but I have to do what I think is best for my son and I. He abuses me in front of our son so I feel that he abuses our son as well. Certain things a child should not witness. Thank you so much for all responses.

  • mammabear,
    same here! I had that same reaction. I was totally with her until then.
    sc21225,
    I am sorry that you have had to go through all that. I do hope things work out.
    We're just teasing you about that "village" thing. It just kind of stuck out in your compelling story.
