She went through a lot when they got divorced.
So I'm picturing my ex could act the same way, and I'm really scared about that.
Welcome to how to the show, where people come to us with their toughest questions and we find an expert to give them guidance.
I'm Carvel Wallace.
I think we can all agree that breakups are hard.
Even amicable splits can leave us with hurt.
Pain.
Pain, maybe even lingering resentments.
But if you ask anyone who is an expert on the topic, they will likely tell you the same thing.
I know it hurts, but it's time to move on.
Like, sure, feel your grief, sure, learn your lessons, but the more pain there is, the more important it is to accept the loss and move on with your life.
But what if you can do that, but your ex partner cannot?
What if your ex is someone who continues to try and spark conflict and confrontation with you no matter what you do?
How do you move on from that?
And how do you find a new relationship when your old one is still screaming for your attention?
Well, that's the problem faced by today's listener.
Guillermo.
I'm a single father of two beautiful kids.
My daughter 18, and my son 10.
And I met somebody really nice that I wanted to build a future again, but I'm really scared of my ex destroying my future.
