Splitting Up - with SEN Child?

Do you think having a child worn SN puts pressure on a previously strong relationship/marriage?

If yourself and your partner have split/divorced, how did it affect your child and your life? Has it got harder or better now you perhaps share childcare
and have more time for yourself?
have you managed to meet anyone else
who was willing to take on a child with SEN?

I feel so low and don’t know what
to do.

@Blossom4538 so sorry you feel so low. I absolutely do think having a SN child puts a huge pressure on a relationship. I have not split up from my DH and we are still in a good place. However, I look at how our relationship used to be and I think having a SN child has catapulted us into a stage where we act like we’ve been married for 40 years and not just a few. The romance is pretty much gone because we’re so tired and drained and our whole being is around DC at the moment.
I often worry whether our relationship will be able to survive the future, I just don’t know.
I can’t answer your questions about what happened after the split but wanted to add my piece.
Have you looked at any local support groups or counselling?
