Hi Anita,
Their relationship is fine and my ex is here in the same city. My son n ex have a very close bond. He even likes my partners daughters to some point but he waits for them to go to their mothers house. My son lives with me full time and goes out with his dad over the weekends (during day time). My ex lives with his friends at the moment so he doesn’t want my son to stay there and his job timings also makes it difficult to manage school etc at the moment. That’s another reason I feel really bad that this restricts the time they both want to spend together. If I was by myself with my son my ex could come whenever he wants to see my son and we could even take him out on holidays together which my son longs for. I can’t do any of these because there is another man and there is jealousy. I feel restricted. And it’s logical too .. I would expect this from his ex and him. But all this makes me think that out of all the mess it’s my son who is struggling the most. Considering all his cousins and family are overseas he is just restricted to us and that too not all the time , whereas my partners daughters have both grandparents , uncles /aunts , cousin to pamper them so it doesn’t really bother them. I just don’t know how to be fair and do what I should be doing
