[quote=Anonymous]My ex husband and I split up 3 years ago when our son was 5. We had a pretty bad marriage- he was an alcoholic for first 2 years and then sobered up when son was 1. I fell out of love with him dealing with the alcoholism. We split when son was 5. I started dating someone when son was 6. It's been 2 years. Son LOVES boyfriend- boyfriend has son his age and we have a blast together but dont live together. We have 50/50 custody and my ex is a good dad and very involved and has not dated anyone seriously. My son every few month gets very emoitional and will cry at night because he misses his dad. This past week it has been really bad and my son has seemed super depressed/anxious and just says he misses dad. What do I do about this? We have face timed his dad the past 2 nights and he has juts bawled crying. It is breaking my heart as a mom and I feel like i am doing something wrong. The divorce was my idea- and while i know it was not my fault I couldnt be married to him anymore and he thinks I stopped trying. So i obviously have guilt about messing my kid up. The past 2 days I have felt so sad for him and I have no idea what to do....help![/quote]
