I’m a guy in a 6 month relationship with a lovely woman who has been separated for 6 years. She has 2 children, daughter 14+ Son 17 who live with her ex.
They used to live 50/50 but about 18 months ago the son decided to live with his father. A year ago the daughter did the same, cutting off her mother 100%.
The daughter, who has mental health problems won’t even speak to her mother now.
This causes great anxiety with her mother.
I get on really well with this woman and we share lots of interests and have an emotional and physical connection like I have never had before.
But frequently her anxieties about her kids causes Big arguments between us.
I try to be supportive but feel helpless as there is not a lot that I can do.
I am not sure if I want to continue this relationship with the amount of anxieties that it brings.
I don’t mean to be selfish, but there is only so much support I can offer, and I wonder if there is a future between us.
Has anyone else been in a similar position, advice appreciated.
