I have been staying there most days of the week all day, every day, since the end of May.

Last August, he was arrested for ______.

I stay as much as possible to make sure Haven gets the attention, interaction, and necessary physical care that an infant needs. The times I am absent, I’ve noticed on my return that Haven is emotionally distraught/stressed out. His mood is very flat and withdrawn and it is difficult to make eye contact. He is usually wearing the same clothes he was wearing when I left, which means he hasn’t been bathed. His diaper is almost always nearly soaked through. I worry that he hasn’t been adequately fed, but since he can’t talk, there’s no way for me to verify that. Additionally, I have good reason to suspect that Max often leaves him alone without warning, as Max has done in the past, publicly and privately. I have to leave Max’s house because he solicits me for sex in exchange for allowing me to sleep over with Haven. I’ve repeatedly refused which works Max into nonsensical rages and he acts without instigation or real purpose aside from causing unhappiness in others. He eventually becomes violent and has assaulted me while he was holding Haven and while I have been holding Haven, as well as when Haven was in the room in close proximity. I return to Max’s house ass soon as possible because I worry about Haven and stress about his safety to the point where I greatly struggle with regular, mundane activities, and Imiss him very much when I am gone.
