Answer
Dear Renae,
Get a lawyer, an apartment, and whatever you need to make a great place for you and your baby.... Then, move out and start living your life.... you don't need a man to bring you down, disrespect, or devalue you.... you deserve more than that and you owe your child more than that.... Since you are working.... do what you need to do and when we are in bad situations and really want to make a change you would be surprised at what we are capable of doing.... Good Luck and I wish you the best..
