Well, first of all CONGRATULATIONS @craigcryptoking! Second of all, apologies for such a delayed response.

I know that mixed bag of feelings very well but I can promise you this, irrespective of what happens between you and the mom, you child will become your greatest love and your biggest joy! Yes, he or she will test you, challenge you and push ALL the boundaries and there will be days when you literally feel like you can tear your hair out... but remove them from your space for even a few hours and your whole world suddenly feels empty and pointless.

It the greatest gift you can ever be granted and I have no doubt that you will be a fantastic dad! So, yes... ride the wave, try and keep things civil between you and mom (always) - for the sake of the child.

You will be fine! :)
