breaking up with sons father
Mon, 08-23-2004 - 10:50am
i need some help.

i don;t know how to go about telling my sons father that i cant be with him anymore. its been close to two years now and i have tried oh so hard to make this relationship work. i have even gone so far as to try and convince myself that things will work if maybe we move or if i get a better job, but i know that i am just not happy here anymore. and i haven't been for a long time. i moved nine hours away from home and family to be with this guy and so he could be with his son and now i feel like i am taking his son away from him because i know the only way to really get over him and move on from this cycle is to move back to my family. i know that if i stay here we will just end up getting back together and that is not what i want. my life is calling me to be somewhere else. but how do i let him know that and how do i assure him that i am not trying to take his son from him and that things will be better for all of us this way?


thanks kelly
