[For little Elza]

DH and I have been living separately since Valentine's Day. I have pretty much left him alone. I have gone through and filed the appropriate paperwork to secure the custody of our 2 babies.

He thinks we can work this out. But the more I think about it, the more I think it won't work. There are some red flags that have popped up recently:

1. Financial abuse - he still refused to work or get a job
2. Wanting to be compensated for keeping one of the babies for 18 days. He finally gave our family's t.v. back a month ago. Now he wants it back saying, "You guys have watched it more than me. Don't I deserve to get it back?" He said this statement this morning, immediately and without even asking if I had money to drive the over 300 miles to come and get her in the first place. He has made no contribution to the trips to take her, bring her back, etc. I even bought her pampers, food, and formula before I left her there.
3. He keeps insisting that everything will work out as soon as I realize that he is "The Man of the Family."


I'm just sad, depressed, and broke, and tired.
