Wants mum and dad back together

[stepmumdramas]

My dp left his exw when sc was only 2. I’ve been in their life since they were 4 and they are now 7.
They initially bonded really well with me but over the last year things have changed. I think they have come to the age they realise mum and dad are not together. Sc keeps asking dp and exw to hug all together at drop offs. This weekend they have also stated they want mum and dad back together. I think they are now seeing me as the thing stopping they from happening and taking their pain out on me.
Does anyone have any advice on how to help sc?
Anything I should be doing?

6-8 months
and your partner supposedly pulls him up on it every time
and it has made bugger all difference?

OP, your partner is not pulling him up enough or properly. And you know it but for some reason you can’t seem to see that the child is very young and your partner doesn’t seem to be parenting him very well at all.

Surely your partner is aware that his partner is hiding herself away in her OWN home whenever his son visited, which is very often.

Your kids will be suffering too… having their mothers mental health suffering and hiding away

you owe it to you and your kids to prioritise your mental health and safe space. I’d be asking your partner (only been together 3 years op… hardly long term) to move out

6-9 months isn’t a flash in the pan

And shit to see your mum so disrespected and unhappy in her own home

prioritise your kids op. Not your partner and not his child
