Coping is an entire different world when there are children involved. Everytime I look at my son I see my ex. Everytime I have to exchange my son I literally have to see my ex. It makes it 10 times harder to let go and it stings with every eye contact. 9 damn years- But I know that its over between us, I wouldnt take him back under any circumstances. Why when you break up you sit around and mope over the good times you shared? WTF? The reason you are broken up is because the bad times outweighed the good!! So why do those bad memories hide when you REALLY need them? My chest just tightened up with sadness and anxiety for my broken family and my broken heart. I have decided that I have given him too much power over me, that I wont let his rotten heartless choices effect my feelings anymore. I wrote a list of all the things that I didnt like about him, it was a whole page. I will read it whenever I begin to think about him so I can remember why Im moving on...;)

You ought to post the things you wrote. It may help you to share them.

 

You say you were together for 9 years. With me, it was 10 years. We finished just a few months ago. She cheated.

 

I too wouldn't take her back under any circumstances.

 

But yes -- it's hard when there are children involved. My son is 6. His mother now ignores me. It's just so pathetically childish.
