[quote=Anonymous]I have only heartbreak. My STBX descended into mental health issues while I was pregnant. At one point he was very stable with medication but chose to discontinue it. He eventually had a major breakdown and left us, but successfully got partial custody. I feel so regret that my child has to go to visitation and be with STBX’s untreated mental illness without the support or companionship of a sibling. They spend their time there ignored by their father and reading or listening to headphones alone in a minimally furnished house. I already felt so sad that I only had x years of their childhood left with them, but now that time is split in half I feel like my time as a mother was abruptly cut short. I am too old to have more children and obviously in the situation I’m in adoption or fostering would be inappropriate. My heart hurts for me and my child.[/quote]
