Exes and dreams... more of a vent I guess.

So my ex sent me a text message last night, and he and I haven't been very friendly since we broke up when I was 12 weeks. He used to send me messages all the time telling me really nasty things, until I filed a police report against him. Now I only get them once in awhile. Well I got one last night from him, and it wasn't even really that bad or anything (surprisingly), its just every time I hear from him, it always stresses me out. I'm so scared that he's going to find some way to take her away from me once she's here. The closer I get to my due date, the more anxious I get about it. His family has alot of money, and they want this baby. When we were still together he told one of my close friends that if it ever came to it, he would 'take the kid and run'. When he doesn't contact me for awhile, the stress isn't so bad, but when I do hear from him, it hits me hard. Everytime he has contacted me, I always have a nightmare that night. I woke up screaming and crying last night because I dreamed that my baby had died. It took me a good while to calm down and realize that it was just a dream, and that everything was ok. He was extremely verbally and emotionally abusive while we were together, so I think thats a reason why I feel so stressed out. Because when it comes down to it, I'm the one that's been doing everything right, not him. And I'll probably win a custody case hands down, but I still stress over it. It just really *****, because I can't go back to sleep afterwards, and it pretty much ruins the next day, because it puts me down in the dumps. I guess I'm just venting yall. Just kind of in a dark place today. :/

The courts don't normally take a child away from a mother unless there unfit and can't provide for the child so you pretty much already have the upper hand just keep all your receipt and other things and you will be fine don't stress. I know its better said then done but just be postitive and when you go to the hospital make sure you let them know he's NOT suppose to be there amd they will gladly remove him! I hope everything gets better for you hun just try to be positive and keep your head up!

If you have a restraining order agains him thats a good start. Make sure you keep all your messages ftom him! Its the only proof you have that he isbin violation of the restraining order. And if he takes you to court to try and take her you can use that ahaimst him and the hateful ness of the messages will show a judge how he really is. If it will make you feel better you can always contact a lawyer for free advice. I hope this helps. But at least you are protecting yourself and your baby. Good luck to both of you!

I've been saving all the messages he sent me since I left his *** 5 and a half months ago. I know in the back of my mind that he can't just take her, and that its all probably going to work out in my favor, but its the small chance that it won't that scares me. Once I start thinking about it all, it just goes downhill from there. Thanks for the support yall, I really needed it today. :)

Keep your chin up. It has to be hard but make sure you keep all the texts you get from him as proof. He won't get to take your baby and run.
