I am a single parent father, close on 4 yrs plus now, i have 3 children , 2 off which i look after full time , i do everything , schools, medicals trips, welfare ,shopping has also working within school hours, Mother sees them evey fortnight on a weekend, The loss of a daughter which even though Was 16 yrs ago ,never really got over ,received no bereavement counseling has a couple back then.
My issue is how to deal with my ex when co parenting , i try to be amicable which works at most part untill she sends confusing flirting messages,me misreading texts utter frustration being sent by her during the fortnight away from her children? i have blocked these on occasions has i have tried to move on before, has i am aware that these messages were mentally damaging my good nature and my health was suffering through this
It, seems i cant get out of this cycle of mixed messages,i supposed i was clinging on to a little hope that maybe we could possibly get back together one day?
More fool me, i still have feelings for her even after all this time , children pickups and drops offs are becoming no easier for me at all,she is now with someone else , has been for a few years on and off,and has no issues has i do ,even though we were 18 yrs together she appears to have or show liitle effection for me left.
I need to get off the constant treadmill with seeing her, but becuase we have children together i simply dont know what do about it?
