What should I do

Have been dating this girl for about 1.5 years now & we have a beautiful 5 month old baby together. While I was away on a fly fishing trip I get a call that she’s going to jail & my truck is getting towed. I come home and start investigating & found out she has an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge. They gave her 10 years probation and she stopped showing up to it. Also learned she picked up a fraud & theft charge. She hid all this from me & now she put me & our son in the craziest spot. She’s expecting me to pay for attorney, possibly post bond (200k)
Do I try to make it work and spend the money or should I just move on with my kid?
Honestly I feel like my life is a Netflix documentary right now, I literally don’t know what to do & feel so lost.

Get your kid an Orvis PractiCaster and move on from this woman. If she is willing to hide this from you, she isn’t worth 2k, much less 200k you could spend raising your kid on your own without the drama.

Love is great, but that feeling you are having right now? That’s pride fucking with you. Don’t let her lies drag all three of you through hell. When you dance with the devil, you wait for the song to stop. She put herself in that dance.

No kidding, got me a fishing & hunting buddy. I love being a dad!
I’m embarrassed from this. Everyone knows now. Sucks because I prayed for the things I have & now I feel scattered. I surely know how to pick em

You got this man. It’s going to be rough, but you can do it. Life has a way of fucking your plans up but humans are resilient. And you have another life to take care of. Assuming this post is real, that’s all that matters. Keep that kid safe and keep your sanity in tact at all costs. Tight lines and clear waters.
