[quote=Anonymous]OP here - I appreciate all of the support and thoughtful comments.  We are not married, so my understanding is that I get automatic child custody unless he files for custody. We have always kept our finances separate.  I can manage financially if I can keep my job, which is looking a bit unstable at the moment.  The fear that I have is mainly emotional - I do not have a strong social network.  I grew up in a neglectful and abusive family, so I have largely cut ties with them.  Unfortunately, these are the types of relationships that I am familiar with and why I ended up in this relationship.  I realize this only after years of therapy.
I am suffering from moderate depression and I am getting limited amounts of sleep with an infant so taking the action of separating seems overwhelming.

Thank you for the words of encouragement.  I admire all of you who have and are parenting solo (in whatever form that appears).  Thanks to the pp who outlined such clear to do checklist items.  [/quote]
