Feeling inadequate

[Babypiggy]

Hi, has anyone got any experience of this? Seperated from ExH two years ago. Within a few weeks he had “met someone”.... then introduced her to my son a few months later (didnt ask me) within 5 months she had moved in with ExH and then was pregnant another few months later. I am single after a rship that didnt last. Mostly OK with it and im not sure it lock down has highlighted it but im trying to WFH, spend time with my son and manage my worries about getting furloughed. Meantime my ExH has booked a few weeks off work and hes gfriend is on mat leave. So when my son is there he is never having to wait like he does at mine when Im on a call or whatever. I feel really inadequate. His dad offers him family life where as at mine its just me. In the usual day to day life pre lock down im used to all our time together being quality time, we go out and do lovely things. Anyone else in this situ or can relate? Sorry its a bit of a ramble... my son is 7 btw

I'm not in that situation, but I sympathise. That's really hard. For your son, you are his constant, his reality. This situation has jumbled things up, but it will pass, and you will be back to your usual day to day life. At 7 they can understand that this is unusual, and resign themselves to things being a bit cocked up, particularly if their norm is stable and positive.

You are his Mum. Nothing can change that.

you’re his world op!

Sugartita do u refckon? The gfriend is really imposing amd oversteps mark quite a bit
