I posted a few weeks ago about having already booked to visit my ex's country with our baby daughter. But last time I was there we had a huge fight on the last day and he didn't ask about her for 5 days after gettin home.
Because he hadn't asked about her, my mum told me she would babysit and because I've had a stressful year with alot going wrong she told me to go without DD and enjoy time with my friends there (I've had friends there since before i met him)
I had decided I would go without DD but for a week instead of the original 2 weeks planned.
Couple of days after deciding, ex has now been texting everyday asking about DD and has kept this up for the past 3 weeks. So now I feel guilty and I don't know what to do again. Take DD as originally planned, or go without her and enjoy some time with friends while I have a chance, as I haven't been able to do this since she was born and she is 5 months.
My friends and mum still say to go without her as DD's father doesn't really get muxh time with her anyway as he works. Just a few hours in the morning. Whereas I am now feeling guilty if I go without her then I'm taking time with her dad away from her.
I would like a break but worried I would feel guilty of leaving her and wouldn't enjoy.
But also if I take her then I wouldn't be able to go out. But I would still be abroad so can't really complain. I've had alot going on recently and my head is fried.... I just can't make a straight decision and wondered if anyone could give advice who wasn't biased. (My friends and mum hate my ex)
Thank you

If there is a chance he would deny you taking your dd back out of the country you need to consider leaving her here imo.

There's absolutely no way he could take her, or stop me from bringing her home. He's not on the birth certificate and she has my last name so because of this he has no right to do that. I've already researched that. That wasn't my complaint.
I was talking more, should I take her as he is her dad and I do want her to have time with him, but I also would appreciate the break.
It doesn't matter now anyway, I've decided to take her with me.
