My relationship ended 3 months ago; my now ex fiance and I have a 1 year old boy. My DS spends 5 nights a week with me and 2 nights with ex (currently at his mum's). We have managed recently to get along well enough to spend days out together as a family (we even had a night out together 2 weeks ago). However, I sometimes struggle a lot with things - the relationship ending for example, and above all spending time apart from my DS. I feel overwhelmed with sadness, anger and confusion, and I end up taking it out on my ex, therefore making things awkward again between us.
Does anyone have any suggestions about coping better with things?
I don't know if I still have feelings for my ex, we have been intimate since splitting, maybe that was a bad idea.
How do I keep positive and level headed? I can't keep lashing out at my ex when we clearly need to keep things amicable for our DS's sake?
