Hello I need some advice, I'm a Mum of a 2 year old little boy and a part time chef I'm in a horrible situation right now and I'm not sure what to do.
My sons dad and me had a pretty horrible relationship at the end with lots of violence from his side but I really loved him too which is hard for people to understand. Every couple of weeks I mourn for him I think about him and convince myself that I want to be with him and that things would be different.
Shortly after I finally called the police and left my sons dad I met a man a little bit older than me who swept me off my feet at the start who I now live with and is very supportive however I really struggle with my feelings about him now. I'm unsure of him he showers me with gifts and every time I try to leave as I am unsure of him he doesn't let me leave he always assures me how good he is for me and how much better he is than my ex and doesn't give me the space I need to properly think he almost acts like he's obsessed and he couldn't live without me and I feel trapped but sometimes the thought of not having him to fall in financially and emotionally is hard and I do miss him when I leave him for the short periods of time I manage to leave him until he batters my phone with calls and turns up at my house and I cave in I do have a laugh with him and enjoy his company but I don't feel like it's a romantic connection.
Can I just not move on because of my past relationship or have I ended up meeting an emotionally abusive person now?
I wish someone could tell me what I feel and what to do I feel so lost and depressed.
Thankyou for taking the time to read
