how do you know its the right thing after breaking up?
I broke up w/my boyfriend after 8 yrs and 1 son together. we live together. he doesnt want to be broken up. Im having mixed emotions about it. part of me is relieved, then im sad, then im fine about it! he is bipolar and i had had enough, the disrespect to me and my son, he would have temper tantrums. I would always tell him to be a role model for our son. I snapped. How do u know its the right thing? Im having a hard time dealing!
If you broke up then you shouldn't be living together. Although you are parents of your child you both need to move on with your own lives. However if he is bipolar that is a mental illness and you should try to understand it. If he is seeing a therapist maybe you should join him and learn a little about the illness because your son might ben genetically linked to having it as well when he gets older.
thank you girls, bipolar is very hard to deal with! Ive been fighting for this relationship for our whole relationship. There were times when I was happy but when he would have those episodes I just couldnt deal, esp with my son in the situation. He is on meds. And we are only living this way bc we just broke up the day after thanksgiving. We also had moved 1500 miles away from family and friends....
you feel relieved that no more drama is going to happen, and relieved that you can raise your son how you see fit without interference. You will feel at peace with your decisions, if they are the right ones.
A question for those who have kids close in age..
When was your due date and when did you give birth?
