Separation

Hi this is the first time I've used mumsnet I'm looking for advice, I separated from my husband 10 months ago after being together for 12 years, it was my choice, we have 2 children 10 and 6. My 6 year old is really struggling he gets to stay with his dad for 2 and half days, when he comes home he tells me he wants to live with his daddy, that daddy is better than me and he loves him more, this is happening every week now. I'm finding it really hard to cope and I dont know what to say to him, I tell him I love him too and that this is his home with me and his sister, but his response is I want to be with daddy, has anyone else been through this 🙁

Not much advice OP but just wanted to send you some well wishes, that must be really tough and upsetting to listen to :(
It sounds like you’re doing the right things. Just make sure that you validate his feelings and reassure him that it’s okay to feel upset, sometimes just being heard helps Flowers
