my baby's daddy is an addict

Cadelaria

Hope you've already come up on a decision that you believe is the best for your baby Halia. Good luck.

Edda

How's it going girl? Hope you've figured out what's indeed best for you and your baby.

Fanny

I get your point but I think it should be best if Halia gives him a chance or more of a "test run" so she'll know if things will work out or not. As the saying goes, better to fix things than throw them away.

Halia

Ladies, thank you so much for all the support you've been giving me through these comments. I appreciate them. I know you've all been waiting for the BIG news, haha. Well, here it goes...

We have resolved the issue and finally came up to a decision which I believe is the best for each one of us. We've decided to live together. I know most of you were shocked as a lot of my friends did. I thought I needed to give him a chance too. It is also a way for me to really know how we could handle the family life with a problem. You see, having a family life isn't a bed of roses, so why not deal with this first issue we had to face? I know this will involve a great deal of hope, disappointment and pressure but I think it's best to deal with it now so as to solve his addiction ASAP. The thought of leaving him also pains me - the regret of giving him a chance to change and giving our child a chance to have a dad around. Not to mention the fact that I robbed the three of us the chance to have a strong united family. This is my sacrifice. I swallowed my pride, I gave up my preference to leave him, I had to face the comments of my family and friends- everything, even my liberty. But I feel this is the right thing to do. And all for our baby, I'll blood try.

I admire your guts Halia!
You've made your point. Fine. But whatever happens, live by these words:

"Expect the worst and hope for the best."

Good luck

Wanna congratulate you for the courage you've shown by making a firm decision! With those words, I'm sensing a maturity and intelligence going on here brought about by having a baby... Seriously, you made us all proud. Whatever happens, no regrets, stand up and face the world confidently and with strength. Good luck Halia. Way to go for a young mom like you.

Oh we wish you and your family life only the best! You're a strong woman, you'll get through this. And no matter what, we're here for you.

Halia

Thanks for the kind words ladies. They're heartwarming!

Idalia

Glad you're back on track. Hope everything just gets better. Love you girl!

Halia

Indeed everything is falling to its proper place now. I couldn't imagine that I had to get through my bf's withdrawal period alongside my sensitive pregnancy. Whew! But indeed, everything's worth fighting for. This is my family we're talking about!
