What to do...

I know this issue has probably been discussed numerous times, but I need some advice from moms who have been through this, or are going through this.
I have a 2 year old son. His father and I have been together over 6 years. It's been a very rocky 6 years, as most relationships are. Ever since my son was 3 or 4 months old, I've been back and forth due to constant fighting. When he was a little older than one, I moved out, got my own place, and tried to move on. I was so much happier without the constant fighting and anger. Being that I had never been in this situation before, I thought it would be best to keep a "good relationship" between his father and I for his sake. Bad idea. That made things worse, and more confusing with us. After 6 or 7 months of being on my own, I decided to move back. Things were okay when I first moved back, but they're slowly going back to the way they were.

It's not only that we fight. He will kick me out of the house whenever he feels like it, he's mean, he's sneaky, he's secretive...and most of all, I most certainly am not in love with him. I thought that I could suck it up and deal with it for our son, and I have for the past year or so, but I can't do it anymore. I think everyone deserves to be happy, and although my sons happiness is most important to me, I think it's time to be a little selfish and think about myself, too.

I'm not asking for advice on what to do, because I know I don't belong here. I know I don't want to be unhappy for the rest of my life. There's issues with his family and I..I mean you name it. I'm just asking mommies who have been through this, how they deal about their children eventually being around another woman, once the father moves on. Even thinking about that TERRIFIES me. I'm not sure how I will be able to deal with it, but that has been one of the main reasons why I haven't left for good. He is the most important thing in my life, and not knowing where he is, who he's with, and what he's doing when he's not with me, is going to be so difficult for me. How do you/have you been able to handle this?View Thread
