I've 'lurked' on this board for ages but never posted before. Have been a single parent for 18 months (DS is now 2.2). I took out a restraining order against xp last May, due to a history of his aggression towards me.
This week xp was involved in a horrible accident (can't go into details here). He rang me from the hospital (we have been speaking, as need to communicate about DS) and I rushed there straight away. I ended up taking him in for two days as the staff said he couldn't go home alone. It's been really difficult having him here and coping with the wierd range of emotions. This afternoon we had a blazing row and now he's gone. DS is distraught - had just about got used to having Daddy here- and I'm a mess. To make it worse my dissertation (for my degree) is due in very soon and have wasted all week on him rather than getting it done. Just feel like I'm never going to learn, he's never brought me anything but trouble (and a beautiful son). Just venting here I think, but if anyone's got any advice I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
