Sadly, DH and I have split up. I ended it after SD's rude behaviour during her last visit in February. Now we are sorting out finances, selling the flat and sorting co-parenting issues concerning our DS2. I just couldn't take any more of SD16 and admit that I have been thinking of ending things between me and DH for a couple of years now. I am a lot younger than he is and I have my whole life ahead of me. I just want to be happy and raise my son in peace. I want to enjoy spending fun times together with DS while he still wants to hang out with me. DH can sort out his issues with his daughter on his own time. Even though we have joined the apparently 70%?? of couples for whom blended families don't work out (is this statistic true) I think it's for the best for all concerned. Four years of constant arguments have taken their toll. I'm moving with my son to the next town to be closer to work. DH will have to make an effort and visit us there (it's not far though). I'm placing DS in a new nursery too. Fingers crossed for his settling in period. It's strange that I keep thinking about how much I'll miss SS19. He's a good boy really and I don't think I'll see him again which is quite sad. I thought about sending him some sort of message but thought better of it. Not sure what to do but I wish him the best in life and everything. Clearly, there's a lot of healing that needs to go on now. Has anyone been through something similar? How did you get through this difficult time?
