Hi
My partner and I have been together just over 3 years. I have SS aged 9 and SD aged 7 from his previous relationship and we have a 50% share of custody (week at a time). I've always had a really good relationship with them, especially the SD.
Just over 2 weeks ago my partner and I welcomed our new son into the world. This has been something we've all been so excited for, especially my partner's children.
I am now rattled with guilt and plenty other emotions that I'm finding myself resenting the time they are now here. I have been completely bowled over by the emotions I feel for my son, and the anxiety that I am finding comes with it. With his children here for 50% of his paternity leave I have struggled. I've not wanted to be around them, for them to be around my son and have resented the time they take their dad away from our son.
This makes me sound dreadful. Re-reading this I can totally see how selfish and awful I sound but I'm hoping to hear from others that May have been in a similar situation and perhaps coped better....how?....or can relate to how I'm feeling and also tell me how you worked through it!
