I have changed my nickname for this but I am a mner who has been here for a long time.
I am feeling rather weird (sad?) about xh's diagnosis. It explains a lot. However, I am concerned for the implications for our child who is in year 4. xh's behaviour has meant that we now have a strained relationship. Our child has been put through an emotional turmoil thanks to xh behaviour, has regular contact with Dad but it has been getting less and less.
It is all very complicated and a bit of a mess.
Has anyone experience of having a child with a partner who has attachment disorder & is it possible for child and parent to have anything close to a 'normal' relationship. In the last 6 months the parent child relationship has deteriorated and i think it is because our child is growing up and seeing daddy's behaviour as unacceptable. I want them to have a good relationship but I also want to protect our child.
