Something’s not right

I’ve just lost my support network

I’ve just lost my support network

The last few days have been absolutely heart breaking and extremely gruelling.

My son came home for a few days, minus his gf and baby daughter. I was quite upset that we weren’t going to see our grand daughter. We have had a few issues with the gf and her mother and a whole bunch of lies being told to us since the baby was born.

I asked our son why they didn’t come home too, he gave a few rubbish excuses so I burst Into tears and asked for the truth. Finally he told me that his gf won’t come here if I’m in the picture because she is offended that I had called her mother a liar and that she was undermining both her and my son. I had also called her a liar. I had done this, but in a private text to him which she read. These weren’t little lies, these were about the baby being sick and taken to different doctors and paediatricians and hospitals, when in fact my son admitted yesterday the baby has only ever seen a health centre nurse, and definately isn’t sick.

It has been a hellish last few days with very little sleep. I have told my son I will clear out if they come up if that means the rest of our family can see or even meet the baby for the first time.

On top of all this my husband and I have been seeing a councellor for marriage councelling (I also see him one on one for CSA), our biggest issue being that my husband can not support me if his life depended on it. This was made evident when my father died and I had a falling out with my SIL, my husband sided with her. I have a terrible history of CSA and trust and support are a huge issue for me.

My councillor knows all of my story, past and present, he knows exactly how important trust and support is to me.

Today I over heard my husband talking to my son, it was a full on fan club meeting for the gf’s mother, both singing her praises like she was mother

of the year. My husband went on to then talk shit about me. I left the

house and messaged my councillor, telling him everything that had happened - and his response was in support of my husband.

I cant even begin to describe how betrayed I feel by all of them. My marriage is definately over, my husband knew this was his last and only chance, the deal breaker - he had to be supportive of me in a crisis, and once again he is far from it. I’m hurt beyond belief that my son has treated me this way. But the response from my councillor has completely floored me, of all the people that actually did understand me, he’s also turned his back. I will never trust him again. I will never go back to him again.

Im completely alone again. There is no one I trust or can turn to anymore. I feel so humiliated that I shared my CSA story with my husband or the councilor just to be discarded like this. I am so hurt I cant even begin to describe what is going through my head right now. I am totally crushed.

Sounds terrible. @Bunniekins is right because the mother and girlfriend seem in control and your son doesn't have a word. Have a word with your son. Leave the counsellor, doesn't sound like the councellor is helping. Do you like your husband?

@Eden1919 I’ve backed right off from the whole situation, these people thrive

on drama, and by not responding to it at all means they don’t thrive on the drama they’re trying to create.

I cant believe the response from my councellor, I held so much trust in this man. Only last week here on this forum I was singing his praises, saying how lucky I was to have him. I’m devastated to have lost him, but there is zero trust now and I can’t confide in him ever again, I can’t believe how hurt I feel.

@Supercoolguy I’ve shown my son different texts from his gf that proved she lied. We have had a good talk, but he’s between a rock and a hard place being pulled in every direction, so I have told him I’m getting right out of the way and wont put pressure on him again about wanting to see the baby.

Do I like my husband? Right now I can’t stand the sight of him. I should have left 18months ago when this happened the first time. I feel such a fool to set myself up for this to happen again

That is tough. Sorry to hear that. I don't know what to say that will make the situation better, espcially between your son and husband and also for you wanting to see the baby. I don't have anything to say that will bring your family closer and that what could bring the girlfriend and her mother closer to you with out the dram I don't understand why they are lying. What is the point? Why can't they just get along and be happy with you and your son and husband also. I hope you get a good answer and that white light is on your side.

Once trust is gone it feels impossible to come back from @Razzle You have told me previously how much you have talked about with your councellor and the respect and trust you had in him - so after what has happened I do not blame you for feeling as you do now. It is devastating to feel like you have lost the support of someone you have confided in so much. Then you have your husband singing the praises of the mother and completely dismissing your feelings - that is incredibly hard for you Hon Your son is in a difficult situation here but also needs to stand up for himself and his needs.

None of this is okay @Razzle and there are no easy fixes - I am angry for you and wish it was so different. It is horrible to be feeling so alone but we are here listening and walking with you. Much love and huge hugs coming to you Hon
