I have to be honest. I'm slowly going crazy and feeling unhappy all the time. I know that my state of mind is negatively affecting S8 and I am trying to find the right thing to do for both of us.
At the moment, the arrangement has S8 with me all the time with a few last minute hourly visits with his father. I have noticed that I am unhappy most of the time and this comes from the fact that our interactions (my son and I) tend to bump heads more often than not. Lies are a huge issue. As is my guilt over being disappointed in the actions that S8 chooses.
After thinking it over, I feel that changing access to be more 50/50 would benefit both of us. I always wanted this but my EX moved far away and always had excuses for why this wouldn't work
Now he has moved closer and I want to broach the subject again. I just need some advice on how to do so and what I can do to address any issues/excuses he may have.
I feel guilty and get teary-eyed just thinking about this but know that it will be best for all involved. I'd like to also add that this has nothing to do with money. I do not receive any child support and the amount of cctb that I receive is miniscule.
Thanks for any and all help.
