We are a same sex couple not that I think it makes a big difference. We don't live together and have been together for 4 years. Recently over the past year I've had a difficult time with my DS father and going through court. He wanted 50/50. Was extremely abusive to me when we were together many years ago, he worked the legal system very well. Played the victim etc. I felt like I was going through the trauma all over again. My legal counsel were shocking. My sons school put me in danger of ex. Such an awful horrible time. I was advised by my new legal counsel to agree to 50/50 to avoid parental alienation of my DS. It begins soon but there has been a transition period and ex has been awful.
Tbh I probably haven't been the best company sometimes. I've picked myself up time and time again. I do feel like people around me don't truly understand my situation.
Anyway had a discussion with partner a few days ago. She's been quite poorly. I was there for her and looked after her when I didn't have DS. She said to me however that I stress her out. Meaning my situation with DS dad, court ect. I cried because I don't want DS to go to dad's and worry that his needs won't get taken care of. I thought I could confide in partner. Now I feel I can't because she said that I stress her out.
Aibu to think she's not being understanding or supportive. It's a big life change and been traumatising for me over the past year.
