I think we're gonna need a bigger boat

Introducing myself - recently separated from a woman I was married to for 7yrs; I knew from early on it wasnt right but, for various reasons, stuck with it; tried to leave in 2005 but failed; then had a gorgeous little boy with her; now we have split up and she has left to live overseas with our son for good. Missing him a lot. Feeling lonely, afraid, very foolish, a bit naive, and deeply saddened at how life can turn.

Can anyone relate?

thanks

Kebby

welcome to wiki - you'll get a lot of support here - I have, and continue to do so either by asking questions or by posting my response to a thread.

I know how you feel - though I only see my kids every fortnight, it nevertheless is deeply hurtful that I can't see them everyday as I used to.

Have you tried talking to her and arrange a visit during your holidays to go out and see your child?

I have a friend who has had a similar experience (his ex moved back to Denmark, but he goes out there every 3 months to be with his daughter)

hang in there and keep posting

take care

Hallo Kebby and welcome to Wikivorce.

I think we can all relate to feeling lonely and afraid!

My sons are teenagers and my husband isn't bothered with them much which is a source of great sorrow to me. He lives 5 mins drive away but only manages to see them once or twice a week. Mind you he probably has more contact with them now than when he was living here.

Hello Kebby
Sorry you are in this situation but glad you are among people in the same boat,

Just wanted to say you are welcome here and feel free to say hi, people are very nice on here

Things will get better and you will feel better in time

Take care
