Serious Situation - Serious Answers Only?

First of all, let me tell you there is no magic wand that will solve this. But you have taken the best and first step by leaving his lying, cheating self. And by taking your daughter with you, you have proven yourself a mother who puts their child's needs and safety ahead of her own. This happened to me. I found out my fiancée was actually MARRIED throughout our entire 3 year relationship. He would have been a bigamist since we were set to walk down the aisle! But I did what you did. Only I kicked HIM out. Then you hire an attorney and you do the best you can to keep life as regular as possible for yourself and your daughter. Don't think about the what-ifs or what-could've-beens or you'll drive yourself crazy. Make sure you get child support. If you can't afford an attorney, you can file with the ISDU (Illinois state dispersement unit) Good luck to you. You did the right thing.
