[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP as a single mom (also of an 11 yo) that attempted and then had to end a co-habitation with a partner, it happens. DCUM skews conservative, and I was afraid everybody would jump on that aspect. But this really sounds like is that you have a dealbreaker component of your relationship that you have attempted to mitigate, and your partner is doing what mine did, which is pay lip service to your needs and quietly do nothing. You do have to end it. Parents who stick it out for the kids have an entirely different history and agenda. But new partnerships that don’t work for you and your son are easy decisions to make. Remember it doesn’t have to be a car crash. But you have to be decisive and you will have to do most, if not all of the work to end the relationship and get this person to leave. Don’t underestimate the power of complacency. My partner who have continued our unhappy situation indefinitely bc it benefited him in other ways. I was not going to tolerate it or model that unhappiness for my DC.[/quote] OP here. Thank you for this response! I am just so mad at myself for ending up in this situation. I know I need to be strong. I can't allow myself to keep functioning like this. I appreciate your compassion. [/quote]
