Mell, I'm concerned about you and the pain you are feeling. Now that my heart goes out to you and wish I could do something to make it better.

Try to take comfort in the fact that time is on your side. He's still quite young (7 is it?) and has the rest of his life to share with you. Surely, he feels the bond between the two of you. As painful as it is for you, the boy needs his mother, too. What she's doing isn't right, but children, for all their innocense, can sense the truth.

Hang tight, Sweetie. You have many people here that care for you and admire you. We all want to support you in your struggles.

Right now, you need to take care of YOU so that you can be there for your son later on.
