Hi all, thank you for agreeing to help by reading my post, all advice is received with thanks in advance.
My situation is that I have a 9 y/o Daughter and my partner (her Mum) walked out on us on Nov 20th. Now I've been trying to contact her and play things gentle since then and she did return for one night but other than that has been spending time at her Brother's or at a friend (female) who she's just met.
Now this all got triggered by my Mother dying and her basically losing her alcohol drinking friend, so in essence she went looking for another. Now she is starting to drink less but still drinks in the day on her days off and I assume every night, like it was at home.
Our relationship had grown a bit stale for a few years, mostly down to issues with trust on babysitters and therefore having no personal time together. However it's also the relationship with her daughter that has deteriorated, she now only sees her for a couple of hours on a Monday and when we go to a fitness club where her Mum works, but even then the actual time spent together is minutes.
We're meeting for lunch tomorrow after school and I desperately want her back, which she is more than aware of but I feel I'm fighting on two fronts to make that happen as I don't think she wants her daughter back either and I'm basically after advice regarding this and what I can do, as I just feel like I've lost so much of my life this past month that I'm really struggling on an emotional level.
Thanks again.
