I am not usually one to put things out there and ask for help but I want to find something new. My ex partner left march 2020 at the beginning of lock down (great timing) due to a secret drug addiction and left me and my 1 year old son. He came back into our lives last Christmas, after rehab and sometime living away and things were looking up and getting back on track.
March 2021 he relapsed and left us again and months on I found out that he had moved into another woman's house in a different city, living with her and her child. I don't know if I will ever get over this. I work full time and pay for my son to be in childcare with not so much as 1 penny from his father. He has tried to go down the mediation route which I have denied as he has failed to make daily contact with his son on too many occasions. He wants contact but all on his own demands.
I don't know if I am on my own with this, but during lockdown I have formed separation anxiety with my child and there are minimal times (excluding childcare when I have to work) that I choose to leave him with other people.
He has moved on with his life and his new family spending weekends away with them taking them places and it's like my son doesn't even deserve a phone call once a day....
I just don't know how to move forward with this....
