Today has been the worst day of my life. I’ve never felt emotions such as this. Telling my son 15 the news of the breakup and him blaming himself, despite offering reassurance that he is not the cause of this. He went with friends for a short period to talk and on his return he asked questions about where we are going to live and what about his college place. I’m not only hurting for what life was but for how my son is trying to also navigate his new normal. The ex on the other hand couldn’t cope with me calling him out and has left for the night taking no accountability. I feel so hurt and angry 😭

damn. mine did the same disappeared the minute i stopped protecting his ego. left me to pick up all the pieces. i see you.
you’re showing up for your son while your heart’s in pieces. that’s love. that’s strength. even if it doesn’t feel like it right now
this hurt to read. i’ve been through a breakup where my kid asked me if it was their fault… it broke me in ways i can’t explain. you're carrying your own pain and his. it’s not fair and it’s not right. and the fact that your ex just bailed?? that says everything.
