My baby’s boys father has a new partner and she had a young child herself. They have been together for less than 2 months. I feel so protective of my baby and i really wish i could keep him all to myself but i cannot. How do i deal with the emotional and mental effect it has on me knowing he is going to be raising our baby around another woman?
