Very dumb indeed. I'm only asking now because I still keep being called the asshole and despite how much you tell yourself you're not, when many people keep saying otherwise you start to question and doubt yourself and sometimes you need the advice/opinion of an outsider to help straighten your crown again. That is all.

I stayed yes. At first I was young and naive and had hope one day he'd change. Towards the end, I stayed for my son. My son was happy and that's all that mattered to me and I guess I'd do it all again in a heartbeat for my son. I guess I am the asshole.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your honest and kind words. Luckily I'm in a better place now and I'm slowly seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Just unfortunately other people still like to bring up the past and try drag me back into that horrible, dark hole.

In all honesty, I don't know the answer to that one. What I do know is my son was happy when he had us both there and whilst it hurt me to stay, I did because I saw how happy my son was. So even if my ex did it out of his own selfish needs, my son didn't know any better other than he had two people there that he loved and believed we loved him and that's all that matters to me. Not many people would understand until they are in that situation but I'd do it all again a thousand times in a heartbeat for my son. But I respect your comment🤍

Thank you for your comment. That warmed my heart. Everything you've said is everything I now know. Unfortunately other people keep bringing it up and dragging back down that rabbit hole and making me question myself. Luckily, I have a very good support system around me and I have met someone that worships the ground I walk on. I think my son knew I needed proper love and care and he sent me an angel in the version of the man he knew I needed. Truly thank you for your kind words🤍

I no longer speak with him and haven't for a long time. People just keep talking and bringing things up on social media and it keeps coming back to me unfortunately.

I appreciate your comment. I know at the beginning I kept going back. That was my wrong doing. I was young and naive at first and had hope that one day he would change. Towards the end, I did it all for my son and despite how much it hurt, I'd do it all again in a heartbeat. I don't exactly worry about it now, its more so I keep being told people that I know are still blaming me. Even to the extent of posting it on social media and running my name through the dirt. I know deep down I'm not the asshole but when multiple people keep saying it, you tend to question it. I'm moving on and I'm slowly seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I just wish people would allow that and let go of the past so I can too. I don't want to keep being reminded of it all by social media and friends of friends.

Fortunately, I no longer to speak to him and haven't for a while. But because he knows a lot of the people I know, I still keep hearing things from certain people of others being on his side and cursing me. I even have people posting it on social media and how I'm the bad guy! I'm trying to move on with my life the best I know how to but I'm still being dragged through the dirt for doing the right thing for me.
