I do also realize that my chances of success here are slim.

So focus on what YOU might be sucessful at. Maybe try and see your son more often. A few more sleep overs at dads. Just an idea.

I am basing this of statistical or clinical data I have read on the matter - there is a better way to introduce a child to the OM/OW and a not so better way, having a partner over for the night does not fall under the right way. He is 4 so I can try to offer that to him, but unlikely he could speak for himself in such a way.

I understand the right vs wrong way….and I totally understand how you might be feeling. Here is the thing both of YOU overtime will end up doing the BEST you can and the BEST may not always be the “statistical or clinical way”. It will be though YOUR best. You never gonna going to control her and if she is in a crisis, she really will continue to do whatever it is she feel like doing. YOUR best bet….make this about YOUR son, try and spend as much time with him as possible. He will need a parent that is stable. Be the ROCK to him and TRUST that he will over time understand this.


Good luck and I know how much this [censored]. FWIW, my two boys are now with me full time. As Cadet would say...trust the process.

Peace,
Eric
