momma,

If your husband was abusive and beat you before, unless he has gotten professional help, he will do it again. Yes, he is really nice at the present time because the two of you are not together; but what happens a year or two down the road, when you give up this man that really loves you, for someone who you know will abuse you again?

He is already showing the dark side by filing for custody. He knows that you will get scared of losing your kids and choose to go with him instead of your boyfriend. That's a form of control. What man would suggest that you tell another man that his child died?

Don't you think your boyfriend has as much right to see his child as your husband has a right to see his? What you need to do is to start thinking about your happiness, and who would make a better husband. You need to stop being scared that he is going to take your children away and think logically. Get you a good lawyer and fight him. Stop letting him intimidate you. He knows which buttons to push because he knows how you are.

Never let anyone force you to live with them out of fear. Fight for your children, your boyfriend and your unborn child. He cannot take your children without proving you to be unfit. Get a good lawyer and fight for your life. Your boyfriend is fighting, now it is time for you to get some balls and fight too.

Be Blessed and good luck
