Feeling Torn
Relationship Stress / by Lawoftheland01
Last post
 October 12th, 2025
...See more My partner has struggled with mental health for a while now. We had a child recently and he was out of work so I went back when the child was 2 weeks. I work almost everyday, and he stayed home with the kid. He ended up hurting her bad enough to put her in the hospital. He was removed and is under house arrest with family until court plays out. I know he didn’t mean to hurt our child, but I am struggling so hard. Not with the single parenting part— that’s fine. I have childcare and I have everything I need for that and I’ve got a routine down now. What I’m torn about is after all of this is sorted. I know he wants to work through this as a family unit. But how do I do that? I’m struggling with it because at first I thought maybe but now I cannot see myself able to let him back in. I can’t trust him, and not being able to trust my child with him? My pets? And also myself? It hurts because yes I love him, and yes I know he wants his family, but what happens if he stops trying to get help? What happens when he gets too upset, or stressed, or overwhelmed? I hope he gets better for himself and for our child in the future, but after everything is sorted legally I don’t know what I’m going to do.
