DEAR ABBY: I have been with my boyfriend “Matt” for three years. In the beginning everything was great and I was happy to find someone with the same interests as me.
I have a son and we are very close because for a long time it was basically just me and him. Matt hates it! She constantly says extremely mean things about my job as a mother. My son hides in his room all the time and it’s embarrassing here. Matt and I share a house. I’m unhappy and I want to leave. I saw what a mean and angry person Matt could be and I quit. How do I start that conversation and move on with my life with my son? — THEY ARE FAST IN ARIZONA
DEAR FED UP: Your boyfriend probably won’t get over his jealousy of your son. If you and Matt own the house together, you may need a lawyer to make sure you get your money out. Contact one and ask what the process involves. Once you have this information, let your attorney tell you how to proceed with your separation from Matt.
