Heartbroken 💔
My partner walked out on me a few days ago saying he didn't know if he could give me a another chance after a bad argument. I recently got some news that a ex had died ,he was my son's father but we broke up before he was born as he was mentally and physically abusive and I haven't seen him in many many years but it was still a shock and it did upset me as I had to tell my son . Anyway , it messed with my head and brought back painful memories which resulted in me taking it out on my partner and losing it with him and becsuse I was getting flashbacks to the past he ended up getting hurt ( unintentionally) ... I apologized but the damage was done and he left . I've lost the love of my life and there's nothing I can do because he won't talk to me 💔
Be kind to yourself. You did not really over-react that much: your son's father has died. I mean anyone in your situation would be distressed. The fact that he abandonned you while you are grieving a death and that he was unable to see your utter pain shows that he's not that strong a partner. Don't feel guilty. Don't think that you are the only one at fault here. Hugs!
