Girl, all I could say is to take it day by day. Yes, Its hard to do because I went through the same about 6 months ago and let me tell you its hard. But for what ever reason you guys broke up. It'll get easier, but just remember take it slow and try to arrange your baby's schedule that best works for you because if you let him get off easy by him picking the dates when he'll see the baby he'll always expect you to keep doing it. Its hard but the key is communication. Even though sometimes its hard to talk to your baby's daddy, you really have to. Let him meet you half way. Believe me it gets easier. Don't forget to pamper your self. You need some alone time too. And try to talk to a close friend of yours so he/she can help you through this tough time.
Take Care.

Ryan and I went to a mediator to work out times when he would have her and i would have her. there is no legal ground behind it but it lays out some guidelines for you and if it goes to court it can become finalized... there is always room for improvement.



Many moms i know have it so their child goes there 3 days a week in a row; those days are their major working days and then they pick up the odd shift on days that they have their child. see if your mom would babysit for you for a few months so you can get some money together to get a place and a car... just try to have at least 2 months rent ontop of the damage deposit so you have some extra money in a jam.
