Hi! I wasn’t sure where to post this so if another spot is thought to be more worthwhile go ahead and and relocate It.
I am experiencing severe and overwhelming despair after a recent change in my relationship with my 10 year old son. He lives with his mother and her partner and his little sister. they are in so cal, I am currently located in nor cal. I am up here travelling a lot for work. I try to visit him once a month, last year when in so cal more I was trying to visit twice a month. We would talk on phone frequently throughout the week and FaceTime as well. We have had a loving relationship.
about half a week ago he decided that he wants to take a break from talking to me and from visiting with me. From what I am understanding is that a lot of this is coming from how he feels about me living in a van, about how his friends react when they see me and he tells them I am his parent, and the presence of the person that I love and share my life with.
I am going to leave it at that for now, can share more about situation if anybody is open to talking about this with me. I remember people on here talking about being parents and their struggles with that. And also people talking about their travelling parents. I would appreciate if anybody that has read this and it resonates with you in any way could discuss with me. I’m really struggling right now with great sadness and anxiety/panic. Thank y’all so much!
