Anxiety when your kids are away from you

xspecialkx's picture

Kids are 4 and 7 and most of the time us parents have been separated has been over lockdown.

recently their dad has shown an interest in taken them out. In the last 2 years they have only gone to his house or more often dumped at grandparents instead. 

although im happy he wants to have them im just anxious and worried he won't be able to cope, he will lose one of them, something bad will happen. He has never had them alone even in all the years we were together. He struggled with mental health issues and I think that's why he hasn't been out much.

Splitting up Xmas

This year kids have been with their dad Xmas day from 11am and they were meant to be back Boxing Day 11am. It's not 1pm and still not back

i get no communication via pictures or anything for Xmas day which I would always send to him when he doesn't see them.

i don't want him ever having Xmas day if he's going to take the piss like this every year it's not my day! I'm never late always drop them back on time.

7 year old doesn't want my new partner to be my boyfriend

My 7 year old knows my new partner very well for a year now, they get on so well, we have all been on holidays together, lots of days out, dinner at home. Almost to the point of moving in but we still live fully separate.

I try to talk to her about him being mummies new boyfriend but she shuts down about the idea. She recently said to her biological dad she doesnt want me and him to ever get married. (I have never discussed this with her so not sure the train of thought).

new baby with new partner feeling left out to half siblings

Am planning to have a baby with my new partner.

 

But I am worried the new baby or even toddler/child when it grows up will feel left out to the half siblings when they spend time staying at their biological dads house or when they have a weeks holiday with their biological dad.

 

Does the new child feel left out their brother and sister are gone for the week?
