love of one’s child in any good woman’s heart.

Unless he changes in this feeling of possession, I think you would be wise in giving him up. Try having them together as much as possible, for most little girls re quit attractive and if he has never been around children very much, he may not know what joy they bring to a home. In your case, you have your parents, near to help when you have engagements in the evening but duty to a child comes before acquiring a new husband.
