Had a long and lonely day today. I haven't said one word to

Had a long and lonely day today. I haven't said one word to another human being. I haven't talked to my son in 40 days because my "wife" is hiding him from me. I did stop crying finally. I have to remember she is a narcissist and was able to look back at our relationship and see how she manipulated and hurt me. I will be better off without her. Just need my son back.

40 days?!?!? That's awful. Any idea where they are?

Yes she left and moved out of state and is living with a friend of hers. It is also Ironic that her online boyfriend also lives there. I miss my son so much we were inseparable. Everywhere I went he did too. I remember when I found out she had a boyfriend and we were in the car. I was crying and he said, "let's just go and live by ourselves just me and you". So innocent, so loving. I am dying inside.

@rblong64 Do you have any plan/strategy on getting your son back? Doesn’t appear his mother will bring him back. I’m so sorry for you, I think she’s cruel.

Yes legally he has to return to the state. I have a lawyer working on it. There are some other issues that are keeping me from being able to speak with him. When she left she tried to destroy me. Did a pretty good job of it. I have legal problems, I was almost homeless because she didn't pay rent, lost my job and everything I owned. She even took all of my clothes. Cruel doesn't seem fitting for what she has done. I know we were having problems but that is what the counseling was for. Well what is was supposed to be for. I won't get back the nine years I cared for her but I have to save my son from her cruelty. I can only imagine what she has told him.

Again, I'm so sorry. I hope in addition to legal counsel you're in a support group and/or have a counselor.

I am not seeing the counselor, I don't see the point. What I wanted was not in my control. It was selfish of me to think that I was strong enough to save my marriage. I should have acted when I had the opportunity. At least my son would be here. I was a fool. I am going back to church tomorrow with my tail dragging. I know they will be supportive and may can direct me to a support group in the area. I haven't found one but in a city this big there must be something. Thanks for lending me your ear. I know you have your own issues to deal with but it feels good to get some of this out. Even if it means I start crying again:( I know that this will end at some point but I wish It would end today.

@rblong64 You seem like a strong person.

I have to be, my son is seven and cannot be. Be strong too, you are important, valuable and needed.

We all feel the same way... that hoping our miseries will end. I know the feeling. Thankfully my kids are with me. I can only imagine the pain u r going through. Hugs to u
