| | | NEXT MESSAGE  | | | | | AUTHOR: | murphette | DATE: 07/14/03 1:38pm | | SUBJECT: |  Son Dislikes Boyfriend | | | I've been divorced for 3 years. My ex has been involved in a relationship for almost two years and recently got engaged. The kids like her very much. I have two children, my son (age 13), my daughter (10). When it comes to me being involved in a relationship, my son is not accepting at all. My daughter on the otherhand just wants me to be happy and is very accepting.
I've been dating my boyfriend for almost 2 years. We had a rough start, but the past year has been great. I love him very much, and I know he loves me too. I do however, keep my time with the kids seperate and mainly because my son will not accept the fact that I'm involved with anyone. Well now that I've been with this man for almost two years and things are getting serious, he wants to be involved with my children. I too would like that, but I just don't know how to go about this. My ex and I have sharred custody. The children are with me 3 nights a week so when they are not with me, that is when I see my boyfriend.
My son is very resentful of any man and says he will do anything and everything to see that he is the only one in my life. I don't understand why its okay for his Dad and not me. Part of me feels like his dad wouldn't tollerate this, but he knows he can make me feel very guilty. But if I do stand my ground, I'm afraid that will hurt him too.
Any suggestions??? Please help!!! | |  | |
