Hi, this is the first time i have ever asked for advice like this but I'm stuck and have no idea where to turn. I am a single mother and have been since my son was born. His father does nothing to help and I accepted this. My son was born with talipese and I had a very bad birth which meant the first 4 years of his life we were in and out of hospital with not much contact with the real world. Another 6 years on and we pretty much still only spend time together only being apart for school and work. He is lovely and sweet and couldn't wish for a better son. But all the time spent together is starting to make him very clingy and bit possessive of me which is a worry. I have been dating someone and he has just broken into tears and said he doesn't want me to see him again or have any other contact with people because it means he will have to share my time. If he said he didn't like my boyfriend then fine it would not be a hard choice and I would choose my son over a man any day. But he likes him (obviously so do i) it's the fact it's not just him it's anyone. I don't know what I should say or do?? I tried to explain he has friends, so can mommy and its good to have friends. He doesnt get it and says he is happy with his friends and mommy no one else? How do I resolve this? Any advice would be grateful 🙏
