Split up with ex in January, DS 5 stays with him every other weekend and once during the week. There was some emotional abuse that DS was seeing so I know I've done the right thing for both of us, but today DS has been missing daddy and saying he wished we all lived together. I've supplied lots of cuddles and said that sounds hard, thank you for telling me and similar but really would quite like to curl up in a ball and cry. Feeling very upset that DS is sad, and very guilty. DS doesn't know yet but we should be moving again over the summer but this means the overnights with dad during the week will probably stop (ex can't/won't do school drop off and we'll be too far away for him to come back to me for breakfast, which is what we do now.)
I guess I'm asking for guidance about supporting DS and maybe some reassurance that I'm not an awful mum and this isn't my fault.
