So I need some advice! I'm not good with these type of things...
My sons father and I had a rough road the last year or so that we were together. He's a retired marine and suffers from PTSD. He would go into pretty manic episodes and say and do things to me that weren't right (never physical). We have a 6.5 month old now. We've been separated for 3 months and I didn't know where he was for a month. Turns out he took himself to the VA to get help so he could be better for us. Now we talk almost daily and he sounds amazing. I'm so proud of him. He should be coming home in 2-3 weeks and we're going to work things out. I know he has hurt me in the past but it wasn't him, and I know there are many veterans out there who have gone through this. So I feel that I shouldn't abandon him now that he has gotten help, as long as he keeps it up. He knows I'm not taking it lightly this time. My family obviously isn't fond of the things he's done. The only one that really knows that we're talking again is my mom & my best friend. My best friend doesn't say anything, she's happy if I'm happy. My mom isn't happy about it but she knows there's nothing she can do and she said she's going to try to go along with it if she sees that he's better. I've always been a person that worries about what everyone else thinks. I hate that about myself, but I stress myself out over it so bad. So I figured you ladies may be able to help me get over it. I'm just worried about telling my dad and my grandparents. Like how do I tell them? What do I tell them? What if they're upset? I know they can't do much because they want to be in my sons life. I'm just overly stressed out about this. Please help.
EDIT TO ADD: I'm almost 24 years old and he's 28. It's not like I'm a baby that can't make decisions lol.
