posted 15 July 2004 18:56 I was living with emmas dad long before I got pregnant, she was planned but after i got pregnant he got vilent and acused me of cheating a lot. I went back and forth from his house to my parents house intill he finally hit me, i was pregnat. I have not lived with him since. He has recently told me that he is going to take anger manigment classes and if he does i plane to give it one more try. The problem is that i am todaly dependant on my parents they todally support my daughter and i and in return they have todal control over me. they keep there phones on lockdown and wont let me go anywere alone. This is because of him and me they just dont trust me and they think i am a bad parent for whanting to be with him but i would never do anything to put my daughter or put her in danger i will only give it another try if he follows through with theripy but i could be wrong in doing that i just dont know what to do i feel so traped and so dependant on everybody else I dont have any friends i lost them when i got pregnant. I see her dad on sundays he comes to my church my parents dont go to church so that is the only time i see him. I feel very strongly that he loves me and i love him but that does not meen that i will be with him. I could use a secound opinion has any body else been in my situation?

Hey Gina, I spoke to you earlier,I'm glad you took my advice and posted this.I hope someone that has been in your situation before can help you.About your parents,I think they are just concerned about you and your little girl.As you will soon learn,a parents first instinct when they think they child might be hurt is to keep them as close to you as you can.I think locking down the phone is a little harsh, but every parent is different.I'm sure that once you've showed him that you're going to handle this maturely and aren't going to put up with your boyfriend being mean to you or your baby ,they will ease up some.Don't be to hard on your parents though.Mine have helped me out tremendosly with my son.You know you would do anything for your daughter,I'm sure they feel the same about there's. good luck.
