OK. I just talked to little man's daddy. I told him that I was having no further contact with the mother. I explained that they're more involved now, and they can figure out when she wants to see him and for how long. They can take him over there after an all night with mama and daddy and hubby will pick him up.

She's backed way away from the baby anyhow, so the reason I made myself keep contact (not to allow this little man hurt) really isn't an issue for me anymore...nor my responsibility. Everyone else that claims to love this baby so much can take on the responsibility necessary or he'll be just fine here. I'm not making sure that everyone is all they can be for him anymore. It's taking a bit of me away from him every day.

RELIEF.
