Today, I went to break up with my psychotic bitch of a girlfriend after months of abuse. When she opened the door, her 5-year-old son ran up to me, smiling and calling me "DADDY!" for the first time. Now I don't have the heart to dump the psycho and devastate her son. FML

If she is abusive towards you, I would have to wonder if her 5 year old is enduring the same thing? If so, I'd say get out of the relationship and look into ways of getting her help.

If you're unhappy, get out the of the situation. Keeping her son happy isn't worth the cost of your happiness

There's a reason she's a single mother.

Now it's like quick sand. Get out before you get any deeper...

This sounds just like the situation my dad is in with his mistress... :( At least you have more balls to try to leave the relationship.

Just get in your car and drive and don't stop, it doesn't matter where, just go.

The kid will get over it. Get away from her, for your own health and safety.

You've got to leave. You are destroying yourself and not, in the end, helping the kid. 5 year old children are resilient. He will bounce back quickly. You are responding to an instinct developed because it keeps children safe. If you stay for a few years and then leave it will actually be worse for him as well as for you. Go!

He could possibly prevent that by having a chat with the kid first, let him know it has nothing to do with him, you think he's awesome, it's just that you and mommy aren't getting along so well... Something like that. Psycho ex still might undo it afterwards but it's a chance at least. And again, you really can't let that keep you in an abusive relationship. Good luck OP.

If she thought you might be breaking up with her anytime soon,she could have told her child to say that. Do not stay with someone that is hurting you in anyway because of a child. Your well being is more important.
