I am feeling so overwhelmed lately. I’m a single mum to my 4 month old son, my ex left me when I found out I was pregnant and moved away. He came back end of pregnancy begging for forgiveness, I gave him a chance but due to circumstances I needed to regain trust.
Anyway fast forward my son was born, ex seemed to turn on me. Started demanding over night access when my son was 2 weeks old! He goes out all the time, drinks and now I’ve found out he does drugs.
As he lives ages away now he comes home every other week. He asks to see him but is only “available” for an hour or two as “he has plans” (this is what he actually says). I give him a chance, turns up Late on multiple occasions as he’d slept in from going out the night before. On a few occasions he’s made excuses and not come at all.
I take my son to see his family, they have no idea about what’s gone on throughout my pregnancy and now. They think it’s all sunny and rosey: I just bite my tongue for the sake of my son,
But I am absolutely fed up of doing this and accepting his absolute bullshit. Nobody knows he has a baby, his close friend told me he calls him his secret baby and is embarrassed by him.
I feel like going to burst because I am so angry about the situation. I don’t know what to do for the best. Do I let this manipulative idiot carry on like this or do I just stop it all together? I’m so lost on what to do. 😞 I just want what’s best for my son!
Has anyone been in a similar situation? When did you start to not feel gutted about it all?
