You have better resources to provide right now, that says nothing for the future.

When my ex-husband and I split he had a job, and the credentials and potential for better ones. Due to the nature of the split he took our son with him.

I got my son back 6 months later. I was still unemployed and continued to be so for the following 9 months after I got him back.

It's now 10 years later. I'm a salaried employee, have had a stable income for the last 9 years. My son is well provided for, while my ex struggles to hold a job and who's situation is fluctuating regularly.

I won't say you can or can't save this. Odds are not in your favor though... you need therapy, just for starts. But the least you can do, for all the damage you've done, is NOT try to hurt your wife more by taking her child away.

MAYBE if you're amicable enough you can still salvage a relationship with your kid. Visits and stuff.

Most all of my kitchens have been almost directly attached to my living rooms.

I cook most things on medium, and can hear if, like, a pot is spilling over or smth.

Should OP have put something on high? No. Ofc not. But sitting in the other room while something is boiling or something for a bit isn't the crime this guy is making it out to be.

So salty. Ofc you'd be a cook.

Thanks, I already paid my dues. Caught my burners on fire, heated the oil so high it smoked (wrong burner).

I'm glad you have the time, energy, training, and vigilance to stand over your stove until everything is cooked to immaculate perfection. I hope you never falter or make mistakes. ;)
