I am really confused sometimes i wonder what in the world has happened to my life.  I have a few problems. I am pregnant by my ex he is a dope head. I want to help him so he can be a better father to my child he already has 3 and he is a good father when he is not high.  I sometimes think I should walk away from him but if i did that I am afraid that he will get worst.  We are not back together but we hang out alot we are friends at this point i thought it would be better than trying to kill eachother and saying hurtful things.  I dont know what to do.

I know you're concerned about your ex but he really shouldn't be your first priority. You need to make the right decisions for your baby and the right decisions are almost always the hardest. I can't tell you what to do because I don't know your situation. I do believe that you know what needs to be done. Think about the environment you want to raise your baby in. Also, what makes him a good father when he isn't high? Is it because he plays with them? Changes their diapers? Feeds them when they're hungry? That's a father, but not necessarily a good one. What is the measure of a good father to you? To me... It includes not getting high. Like ever. Certainly not on a daily basis. A good father provides encouragement, is present not only physically but mentally, and guidance. How is a dope head going to provide guidance?
