You're not crazy!!! I've done the same thing. I think you just want some reassurance that you're doing the right thing. You want the only other person that loves your child as much as you do to tell you that everything will be ok.

It's a lot of pressure to be the only person making the decisions in regard to your child. I think it just helps you relax a bit to know that you're doing the right thing.

Hang in there and don't hesitate to call him the next time you feel that way. :) I think this is completely normal.

I don't think your crazy and I see where it all came from. I've only just accepted that my ex is not the person I should turn to for comfort because psychologically it was messing me up. It's hard to be living with kids and not have a support network or anyone to share the ups and downs with. After 2 years I'm still lonely and isolated. Good luck

You don't sound crazy, you sound normal.

These are tough circumstances and especially when a child is sick it seems reasonable to me that you would have the itch to tell your ex.

Hang in there!

Not crazy at all! We all do this, especially when children are involved. For me at least, when some issue arrises with my kids I often feel more alone and afraid than ever. It's nice to have someone to share in all the "Firsts", decisions, mile stones, victory's etc... When my daughter scored a goal from the back of the field (which she was given the annual mvp shirt for) I so badly wanted to call the stbx. I was standing on the side line thinking "That was my kid! That was my kid!" Who can I call? Well I called a friend but it's not the same.... But I have built up a network of people that I can call for different reasons. My oldest daughter staggered in unannounced one night w/a 104 degree temp. This kid never runs temperatures so It scared the crap out of me. I called my sister and she came right over and helped me get her temp down. So I have learned to rely on others and it is becoming more natural for me to think of others first instead of him... It gets easier w/time.

I don't think you are crazy, but I am personally confused why you are upset. You wrote "He gave up on me just 3 months after I left him. Too soon, for me." You gave up on your relationship first, for one reason or another, so why are you upset that he is trying to pick up and move on with his life? It's a healthy response not to dwell in the past. Again, not judging, just am not understanding (but then again, I am the one who was left in the dark). And I'm not saying that jumping into another relationship was the right thing either... just don't understand your reasoning.

I fully understand where you are coming from. It's the communication thing "what do we do" as two parties in parenting. It must be difficult, I know I'll have to face those nights or days someday and you gave me something to think about. Remain calm, and add love to the little one.I would not call my ex though, unless it was a critical decision that had to be made. But that's me.

seeking, also I want to say, just because I left him for many good reasons, doesnt mean it doesnt hurt that he has a girlfriend, and quickly, too. Its been a year for us, so I should be ok, and I am, I just had a relapse.

You're not crazy - (well, maybe a little...) It is normal when we are worried, sad, ect. to want to reach out to someone familiar. You did a good job of resisting; did it make you feel just a little proud? I hope so; you deserve to.

You are to be congratulated on handeling a difficult situation on your own!

Follow your instincts--you know how to parent and take care of your child. Be confident in the decisions you make for them.

Way to go!
