I'm not particularly upset or surprised about this as i expected it. i guess to a 5 year old that it is easier to get angry at me because i am here and he misses his dad so won't get angry at him.
BUT
I'm not taking the blame for this. yes i was the one who pulled the shutters down in the end but the end of the relationship wasn't just down to me. I am not letting ds believe it was my fault and carry this belief into his teenage years where he will resent me for doing the only thing i could do. EXp has the victim mentality down to a fine art so i know any hint of ds blaming me and EXp will agree and may even tell him it's my fault without needing any encouragement. I need the boys to know that a relationship is the responsibility of two people but how do i put this in 5 year old terms?
