How old is your child? My opinion is in all your decisions is that you need to make your child THE NUMBER #1 concern. I know all of this is hard but I think for all of us we need to put our children first. First in our DBing choices and all that we do. Our children are unwilling participants in all of our stories. They are the biggest victems. I think if all parents put there children first in all of there choices, these boards would resemble a ghost town. Familys intact. No OM/OW. NO MLC.
I think in your situation you need to take care of your child and yourself first. If you can help her without putting your child in harms way that is great, if not, always put the childs welfare first.
