Ellie, I guess it's hard not to "be here" when I "am here!" He's living at my house. I don't want to make an ugly scene and ask him to move out, causing conflict; I just don't know how to detach and "move on" when we have to be together to raise the child. He wants to be as involved as he possibly can, and my own values won't allow me to simply go away and "allow visitation."
I guess I'm having a really hard time seeing what my options are, given his insistence to be involved and my feeling that if he wants to be, he has that right, whether or not we are together in a romantic R.
I am a real supporter of paternal rights, and I won't deny him those rights just because the law says I can. See where I'm stuck? Am I still not understanding you?
