...See more Hi everybody, I'm new here I just feel I really need to get a lot out. I have been through quite a lot this year I have had a misscarriage, lost a really close relative to cancer and have also had my sons father come back into his life after 5 years. I feel like everything negative that happens I put it to the back of my head and pretend it has never happened, but obviously that is not good because now I am just feeling really down as it has all built up inside my head and I am slightly struggling. I feel like I can't grieve I just keep my mind occupied so I don't get upset. Also this year my sons father has come back into our lifes after 5 years and we was trying to make a go of things but I feel like his mum is just creating a wedge between us. She can not let go of the apron strings. I am at work all week so she has all week to spend time with him as they both do not work, but as soon as he comes to my house so spend time with me and our son she is constantly texting and ringing him asking to do things when I finish work but she has never once invited me or my son(her grandson) . Its his first Christmas spent with us this year and his mum has said she is going to be lonely (she spending it with her mum) so now he isn't spending Christmas with us.also she never invited me and my son for Christmas Dinner. I just don't know what to do anymore I understand children and parents are to be close but I just feel this is too much and she won't let him be apart of his own little family. Do I just walk away?
