My girlfriend and I have a son who is 15 months old. Since he was born I have provided everything for him and his mother. I give them a place to live and provide all of the food, pay all the bills, etc. She is unemployed and has been for 2 years now. I work from 5:00pm to around 3:00am. Then I wake up at 7:00am to take care of him while she is attending here college classes until I return to work. I have put everything I can into this relationship and yet she gives nothing on her end. It's to the point I want out but am afraid I'll lose my son. Considering she has no place to go around where we live, the closest family she could live with is 2 states away (about a 12 hour drive) and I know she would take our son and I would hardly ever be able to see him. Is there anyway I can get full custody of him or if I leave do I have to prepare to lose him as well?
