[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need to leave or rather have him leave for the safety of the kids.  I am nervous about being a single parent to a toddler and young infant.  I have a stressful job.  The thought feels overwhelming.  Any tips?[/quote]

You are not a single parent.  Are there grandparents on either side? You also have a rx who is likely to have some custody unless there is a site proof that he is a danger.[/quote]

You and the other "you are not a single parent" jacka$$es are insufferable.

Seriously. Not everyone has 50/50 custody. Not everyone coparents with their child's other parent.

I am divorced and I am definitely a single parent. I have primary custody and I do 100% of the parenting. My kids' father thinks he is a fun uncle. He did not want custody. He sees them a couple hours a week for dinner, IF he feels like it and it's convenient for him, but if he has something better to do, he blows them off. Has zero interest or involvement in school, activities, their friends/social life, doctors appts/medical care, or any actual parenting. He just does not participate at all. Yes, my kids have another parent in the sense that he exists and isn't dead, but he does not function as a parent. I am the only person parenting these kids.[/quote]

That’s not what single parent means. You are not a single parent. You got pregnant by a dead beat but you aren’t a single parent.[/quote]

Yes she I'd, you idiot.  That's exactly what single parenting means.  Parents raise kids, not contribute genetic material.  Unless you are a computer and are thinking in terms of parent-child taxonomic relationships, in which case go back to mommy's basement. [/quote]
