[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few things:

1. You're doing the right thing, by letting him go gracefully, and I am sorry that it hurts.

2. The back and forth is really bad for the child. My stepsiblings parents divorced and married three times before they divorced for good and their mom married my dad. It really did a number on the kids, to live that trauma over and over. It also made them believe their parents would do anything they asked ("you and dad should get married again"), and it set them up for really unhealthy relationships as adults.

3. Like PP said, you cannot take him back. You are not his fallback plan. End it, no contact, and find someone who will choose you.

Good luck![/quote]

There really hasn't been any back and forth  his son is just a little over 3,  the only life he has known  is mom & dad being  apart.

I don't plan on being in contact with him, but I also don't think saying you know this means   we can never get back together  to him is the right thing to do.

I feel like that would be kind of like giving him an ultimatum or saying choose me or your kid.  Which is wrong in my opinion.

He loves that little boy with all his heart and I know it kills him to have limited time with him.[/quote]
