hey everyone. i'm in a hard situation and although i know that it is me that has to make my own decisions, any advice wld be appreciated. i've been in a four year relationship and we recently had a baby boy. my x used my preg. against me(high risk) and took custody of my other child. i have been told by several different lawyers that if i want my other child back, i need to marry my new sons father. Here's the dilemma; recently my "whatever" u wanna call him has been using my past against me,ex: from the abuse i went through as a kid to being drugged and raped, the fact that i have NO family and am all alone,crazy,etc...trying to hurt me. i have been in an abuseful relationship before so i know the signs. for two days now he has SPIT in my face b/c he didnt like what i had to say AFTER i asked him to walk away and leave me alone. i tried to walk away and he wld follow. this is crazy. i admit that i knocked the sh*t out of him after he spit in my face but for the 1st (and last) time in 4 years-the SOB hit me. the only reason that i did not put him jail or in the hospitol is b/c i cannot afford to have a report or go to jail trying to get my child back but now, w/ no family or close friends,i dont know where to start. i stay at home w/ the baby and have tried all my local resources that i know of...i know i must get a job and if i have to stay up 24 hours a day to work 3rd shift and care for my baby, i will to save $ to leave. i just seem to hit a roadblock each way i turn. any advise??
