very true lulu2 - i wouldnt let him touch my child with a 10ft pole!
to add to my rant from last night, if he actually thought he could get ANY woman to hand over her rights to her child than there's something seriously wrong with this guy!
oh by the way, do you have any contact with his family?? if you dont, i suggest you do, because if anyone can get him to see what he's doing is wrong, it will be his family...
and if they turn out to be on his side, and repeat what he says, well i would definately stay away from these people...

also, to emphasise his lack of rights - even if everything went to court and he got the best lawyer in town and made you look like a crap mother(which you definately arent), but if he does all that, he will still only get DS every second weekend... and maybe half the school holidays when DS is old enough... and THATS IT! we are very lucky that the laws in australia favor mothers, thats what i love about being a woman, no man can ever take away your child. It just makes me so angry when i hear about men that think they can take children off their mother!

so what made you fall for this guy in the first place? was he completely different before you got pregnant??
anywho, i have sleep to catch up on... dont we all...

take care
