My ex cheated on me when I was pregnant with my youngest son. Then I found out our whole relationship he had been cheating and was a little emotionally abusive so I left. I have been a single mom raising my kids and I have sacrificed everything for them. I work 2 jobs and at one point worked 3. Our kids are teens now. Oldest is 18 middle is 16 and youngest is 14 turning 15. I am close with all my kids except my youngest. He prefers his dad and has always preferred his dad over me. I would never tell him his dad is a cheating POS and the reason we broke up because I don't want to turn him against his dad. One thing about my ex. Bad husband. Great father. It's just the truth. We are going through something with my youngest involving a lawsuit. Someone's fucking dog jumped over our fence and attacked his face. He's gotten stitches and he will be okay but in therapy he is saying he wants to move in with his dad for a little while which my ex said okay to. My feelings are extremely hurt. I was told it's just the traumatic event and his dad is his safe person. I guess I'm jealous because I love my kids more than anything and have been there and want to be all my kids safe person. I know he's old enough to say he wants to live with his dad. How can I not take things so personal?
