Struggling with separating

4 replies

Currently splitting up with my partner and as the time nears to us moving out and separating I’m so worried about our 4 year old how he’s going to adjust. All I wanted was to have a family together and I’m going to be on my own again. I posted a bit ago details about the relationship. My partner use to be so nice, I feel like I’ve caused him to be like this, if I’d of just accepted that my eldest was at his dads then we might not be like this now. I’m struggling so bad because I really don’t want to separate deep down but I feel I don’t have a choice which makes it harder, I’m stuck in the middle

The 4 year old will be fine if you don’t show any upset about it.

What do you mean about your eldest?

Please clarify OP, it's hard to give advice without the full picture.

Ok. Ive just read your other two posts. He is a grade A knobhead. Awful man. He is punishing your older son for seemingly nit doing more with the baby when he was sounds like he was annoyed he was having to do some parenting. did your partner have to actually do a lot, or was it just standard parenting? Things all parents do?

threatening to not see his own child makes him a prick. At best.
