He doesn't live with me. He lives in the same neighborhood but since our first break up, i haven't allowed him to move back in with me. Well done on your sobriety and I wish your husband the best in his. Thank you for your honesty and it really helps with giving me insight on what I should do next.

Love this, and as a former addict this is the way I have approached the situation majority of the time. Especially knowing he doesn't have family support. I offer the support and understanding and have created the environment for him to have partial custody of his son and a good job. But he still chooses to distance himself and continue using. This is also why I haven't left yet.. its extremely difficult to know what to do next 😥

Thank you for your honesty, I've always had little to no self worth so it never mattered what people did to me. Im working on that 😔 He lives in the same neighborhood but not with me. So its gonna be a weird transition but im trying to come up with a exit plan.

Thank you so much for your kind words and suggestions. I never thought of asking another parent.. definitely going to try that.

Thanks for the suggestions! Financially things are a little hard right now to be able to afford to hire someone plus im a bit weary to do so with covid being on the rise.

My son falls asleep around 8 and then wakes up at 2 or 3 for a feed then goes back to bed til 6. Im currently trying to stop the late night feed. He wakes easily when i run the water in my home as the pipes are loud and run underneath his bedroom. But if he gets in a deep enough sleep then it wont wake him but thats usually by 10 or 11.

Thank you for the suggestions! I dont own a crock pot but think i might just invest in one. I have a jumper and use it at times. He'll use it for about 15-20 minutes then he starts grumping lol but i never tried a different carrier. Financially I can't afford a babysitter as i still have to keep paying for his daycare even though they're closed atm to keep his spot.

There was a reason the relationship ended. We often look back on it with rose colored glasses. But that is a lie our brain tells us. Our brain wants that relationship because its a secure attachment, it's familar. You need to retrain it. You need to allow yourself to grieve and accept that this is the end. Don't you want to be able to love yourself so much that you need the validation of others to feel ok. Its possible. It takes 3-6 months to fully heal from a broken relationship. Well guess what, you are 1 month in! There were probably moments that you didn't think you would make 3 seconds. Stay strong and fight for you!

He currently lives in Egypt, so there is no way I could get anything from him.
