I'm sorry I don't have any personal experience or advice to share with you, but we have lots of very wise single parents here on BB that are sure to be able to help you out Just wanted to say welcome to BB, although I'm sorry for the circumstances - I hope you stick around and enjoy your time here. Hang in there, sounds like your little guy has a wonderful dad on his side, I hope you both get through this okay.

My parents split up when I was 2 but I do recall saying and doing similar things to your son when I was his age. I also recall running away from home to go and live with my dad a few times when I was 7 or 8 (it didn't work out very well) when my mum got into a new relationship. Needless to say it didn't work out very well and I returned home pretty quickly. I think what he is going through is pretty normal for kids in his situation and you seem to be doing all the right things.
