I feel like my heart is about to explode. I want to scream. Here I am! I'm crying! Please talk to me. I keep getting hurt again and again and again. I think today took the cake.
My boyfriend told me that his youngest son told his mom that we beat him with belts.
At first I was furious that he would say something like that out of no where especially because I don't like his mom. I try my hardest to treat him like he was my own son.
Now.... I'm just hurt, heartbroken. So much bad happened in this week I just feel like giving up.
I keep trying to pep talk myself but the more I try I feel like I'm suffocating from all the pain I'm enduring.
Co parenting is hard.. especially from a step parent point of view. My boyfriend's sons go to their mom telling lies or exaggerating. It's a pain in the ass. I just learned to ignore the nonsense.
So sorry! you can do this though! It will pass and that is a rough age. I remember being told that I got a social services visit on my dad because I told someone that my "daddy drinks beer all the time and the dishes are to the ceiling". Both of those things were definitely not true and I have always loved my dad. It's a phase and you can do it! You're strong and I know it's hard but crying is good for you! So much better than holding it in!
Crying is good. It releases stress! I am sorry that your son said that. He is obviously looking for attention. One of you or both needs to explain to him how important it is to tell the truth. You are doing a good job, mom!
