thank you, thank you.
i am hoping, praying that she is like that.
that she feels i am doing the right thing, and that my child will be safe with me.
but oh, do i worry when i hear things like, "well you have to accept him the way he is or let it go." and then in the same breath told how he wants to be in our child's life, etc.
(i get the feeling of "you'd better not keep the baby away from him.")
but you are right, i am the mother. i have my boundaries. maybe keeping the whole family at arm's length is a better idea, from now on.
it seems whenever i talk to any of them, i get stressed and worry over what they think of me/what they could potentially do or say to effect me and the baby.
