A. How old are you? If you are less than 21 you should have really avoided baby momma drama. If you are around 25 then dating someone with kids really shouldn't be an issue.

Why do I say these things? Well there should be priorities and I would say school is one of them. I'm not saying you can't have a successful relationship and go to school (Me and my wife both go to school) but women, children and school are all very stressful and take a lot of time. At 25 if you avoid women with kids you are cutting a lot of people off without giving them a chance. Also, 25 should be an age that most people have a degree and a career and really should be mature enough for things such as kids.

My wife is 21 (since september) and I have a kid who is 2 years old but my ex kidnapped him so he hasn't been an issue. I've been in and out of court for almost a year and a half now.

Also, before you even got involved you really should have done some soul searching. It's bad enough that when you enter a relationship it effects 2 people but at least they should be mature enough to handle when the relationship goes south.

If you aren't ready to be in it for the long haul then you should have cut it off immediatly. Children are resiliant but things like this can effect them to extreme. Letting the kids get attached and then cutting them off is really fucking shitty dude. I'm not saying that you had to make up your mind that "this girl is the one" from the first date. However, if you weren't looking for something to last like that then you shouldn't have gotten involved.
