Thank you all for your prayers in my previous post. I am still feeling a bit fearful and am struggling to feel peace from God.
At times I feel overwhelmed with sadness that I ever had this relationship in the first place because I know that it has not always been good for my son. I feel guilty that I didn't put his needs first and worry that it has left him with lasting damage. I am finding it hard to forgive myself for doing something that has hurt him. I am also finding it difficult to let go of my anger towards my ex-partner for their part in this situation.
At really low points, I have begged God to take me back in time to the point just before I entered this relationship, so that I could choose a better path and have the time when my son was little all over again - a precious time which has now gone forever and which was marred by conflict with my ex-partner, creating at times a sense of underlying unhappiness and lack of security in our homelife. I know that God will not take me back in time but I sometimes find myself clinging to this hope.
Would you please continue to pray for me....
