I’ve been with my partner 15 months and he has a child with his previous partner. They’ve been going through court proceedings and they seem to be making progress. Obviously the mum hates me and has made things very complicated. I am apparently a threat and I am imposing (I’ve only met the kid maybe 5 times at an hour max) How long do women wait for it all to settle and are able to start to build a future with their partner and their child? Does it ever get better? Because at the moment I cannot see a light at the end of the tunnel. I feel she just wants things back on track so she can control my partner again. I have forever been reasonable and reassuring. I don’t want to be the child’s new mum, they’ve already got one. I’m just here to support my partner and share his happiness and love for his child. This whole process has also made me very sick and anxious and I don’t know how I’ll get over it...
