Hi,
My ex and I are currently going though a seperation. Unfortunately he struggles to set boundaries and allowed his toxic and controlling family to dominate the majority of our marriage. He did briefly put his foot down but as an only son struggled to shift the guilt.
He also struggled a lot financially annd has a lot of debt and when I got tired of helping him he went back to them for their ‘comfort’ despite their abusive behaviour.
Our daughter is 22 months old and I worry that this will have a lasting impact on her. I worry she’ll always feel different compared to her peers and she’ll always feel as though she doesn’t have a proper loving home where both her parents love each other.
If your parents separated whilst you were young, how do you feel about it now? How did it impact you and how did you feel at the time?
