Despite Tom’s threat to take Annie, and despite all of my fears when I was pregnant, he’s proving to be a good Dad.

He spends lots of time with Annie, and he’s always willing to give her cuddles and rock her off to sleep if I can’t settle her.

Today, he really made life easier for me by caring for her for an hour so I could have a rest. And yet, I don’t know whether his soothing Annie to sleep is also lulling me into a false sense of security.

I want to believe that he didn’t mean it and that I was overreacting, but my sense of dread won’t allow me to do that fully. Seeing the tenderness he shows towards Annie is melting my heart, and making me drop my guard a little bit more each day.

I hope I’m not wrong to trust him.
