Trying to understand my place

[Depp]

Hey, I’m a little confused at the moment, my partner and I had a break up, Is my partner is telling me she wish she hadn't messed things up with her ex boyfriend meaning she wants to go back to him? or she’s not being fulfilled with what I have to offer?  She's trying to go help him while he's going through a rough mental time but is it her responsibility to if they’re no longer together but have a kid together? I don't want to get in the way of there original family but I feel as she needs to focus on her current life with me instead of the one I feel she misses because of her own doing? or is that selfish of me?

Dear Depp~

I'd like to welcome you back and I"m saddened that your relationship has broken up. I also think TonyWK has given you some good advice.

Looking at the circumstances as a stranger I think my chief concern would be the welfare of the child. I think your post may imply that the child is shared between their parents, and while their mum may be OK their dad is not. 

Your ex may be torn two ways, which feelings for you and feelings for the child and their  dad, who as you say is going though a rough patch.

As you would be aware any relationship that breaks apart does not stop if children are involved, it may change in nature however each still has to deal wiht the other ex for the child's welfare.

I'm not sure there is much you can do at this stage except express willingness to help your ex if she needs it and let her decide what to do.

If I can ask do you have any personal support, a famiy member or friend who you can talk with frankly and will care?

If you would like to keep talking here you would be welcome
