Can’t take this hurt anymore

The essence of the son you raised is still there @Razzle He may be a little different from what is going on but his core values will be the same and those are the ones you taught him. He is in a very difficult situation - I think we all recognise that he is in a no win situation here. It must be incredibly hard for him to have to choose between you and his child/girlfriend, It is certainly not a place you wish fo him or I am certain he wishes for himself. But that is the situation you both find yourselves in and it seems like it eill not/ cannot be sorted soon. I am glad he is going back to uni and that you will have the opportunity to talk with him more - that is definitely keeping those lines of communication open. ...and that may be all that it can be for a time and while you are missing out on the early experiences with your grandchild it is important ot keep those lines of communication open for both you and him. It really is one step at a time here Hon and doing what you can to stay connected with your son.

@Zoe7 Everything you say is true, but I’m slowly going mad in the process, I’m not coping with any of this at all

I can definitely hear that in every word you have written @Razzle I know it is easier said than done but it really is a matter of getting though each day as best you can and hope for that connection between you and your son to be strong enough that in the future you can have that close relstionship again. For now he needs to have most of his attention on his child but in time I hope that he can divide that between both of you.

@Zoe7 His focus does need to be that baby, because once we’re out of the

picture they will start to squeeze him out.

Well, the answers I’m looking for weren’t in the bottom of that bottle, at

least the anxiety has calmed a little

I'm glad the anxiety has reduced a little @Razzle .

I need to head off now Hon but will check in with you tomorrow when I get home from work. I hope you have a better day tomorrow - at least hope there are moments of light in your day. Goodnight @Razzle

Thanks @Zoe7 goodnight

You are very welcome @Razzle Catch you tomorrow Hon

@Razzle Home from work and cheking in to see how you are doing today - been thinking about you all day Hon - sending you some love and hugs

Thankyou @MDT for your support, but I don’t think this will resolve in a hurry, I can’t see any happy ending here.
