my ex and i split up 6 weeks ago. We have one ds (2) together. things had been wrong for ages but he had affair and is now in process of setting up new life with OW.
as a result of how i felt on finding out, i packed up and took ds hundreds of miles away to my parents. with a view to staying here full time.
now 6 weeks down the line i am really confused as to whether i have done the right thing. I know deep down that if i moved back my ex wouldnt give me the level of support i would need with ds. i dont have a massive support network in old town. back with my parents i have their support and a few old friends.
i really really miss the familiarity of my old life. not so much missing my ex but miss my job, ds went to a lovely nursery etc. its a completely different way of life where i am now and i guess i just feel really sad that the decision was effectively forced upon us.
do i just need to suck it up and accept that its for the best for ds and i to stay here and have long term support?
any experience guys?
