After my second episode of psychosis my partner split up with me and no matter what I say she won’t take me back.
I hardly see my son anymore and hate living on my own.
All I want is my family back.
How do you make someone love you again? The answer is you can’t. I’ve been trying for months.
Sorry to hear that.
But it does sound like she’s really made up her mind.
I think it’s best if you try to let go
And move forward.
Not of your son, but your ex.
She has really made up her mind. There’s no going back, but I can’t help trying. All I want from life is my family back.
I do need to let go and move forward though.
It is natural to feel like that right now.
But a point will come in time when you will realise that there are other good things ahead of you, that actually want you.
Sorry to hear about your son situation. Hopefully with time that will improve
Hope everything goes well for you.You can only do your best so that you won’t suffer,she probably had moved on,but you can too to a better life then before
Do your self a favour and move on. The more you dwell on it, the more pissed off your gonna be. Im still in love with the ex wife so i know what you mean. Just live your life and rely on yourself.
Accept like i did - that your probably never gonna get your family back.
Yeah it’s hard but true. Just finding it hard to let go but know I need to.
Makes me feel like coming off of medication to see what happens.
She wants to move on, it’s over and done with for her.
It’s tough but move on. I still love those I’ve loved but I realize they have chosen differently. Don’t stop your meds because that would be a disaster but be kind to yourself. It’s never easy saying it’s over.
I’d suggest you focus on keeping it friendly with your ex and arrange to spend more time with your son - this should be your long term goal. Clearly she wants to move on and by insisting she might end up putting you in the undesirable pest category which could make it harder for you to see your son. Focus on him and forget about her.
I’m already in that category now. I can’t stop asking her to take me back. I’m scared of the future alone. I know you’re right in what you’re saying but I don’t want to see her move on. But will do my best to let her go.
Just can’t give up on getting my family back. Although I know it’s not going to happen.
Damn man thats rough Im sorry to hear that. It would frustrate me to no end knowing that my partner left because of something I couldnt control like that. Totally get why she would tho, psychotic episodes can be scary. I had a roommate who moved out without telling me after he witnessed a bad episode of mine. Put me in a taxi to the hospital. When I got back him and all his stuff was gone lol
Do you have visitation rights for your son? Were you ever married? If not then I think seeing your son will be much more complicated. I would give up on having anything but a cordial relationship with our ex and focus on raising your son. Youve burned one bridge but your son is still somewhat young Im assuming and youre his dad. He most likely looks up to you and respects you and wants you in his life
She says it’s not the episode, but the relationship as a whole. We’re still friends and I can see my son when I won’t, but it’s just not the same. I know I’ll have to give up soon, but it’s difficult because it’s the only thing I want.
As someone who has delt with custody after bad breakups, I suggest you attempt to get a court order to see your son as soon as possible. It takes a long time for the process to get started and the sooner you do the more likely you are to get parenting time. Not sure where you live but in Canada our courts offer free classes for split parents. They were useful in learning ways to communicate with my ex.
Sometimes people do get together even after this process.
I pray that I can get back together with her. She is really supportive of me seeing my son so no need for courts.
I’m glad to hear that. Still make sure to get something in writing just in case.
