Hi, I’m in need of advice. Long story short, I’m trying to make it work with my bd who has cheated, not helped with our baby until recently, gaslit me, taken advantage of my kindness and finances etc. I know it’s a bad idea to stay, BUT I am concerned that if I leave and we have to split custody, he will be bad to our child. He is a great father when calm but when stressed, angry, or frustrated, will throw things, yell, curse, punch walls, etc. He has been doing better but has been harsh or snatched objects from our baby a few times (while he was 7 months and 12 months). I don’t have proof of anything. What do I do to protect my little one?
