I am in a very interesting situation in my life right now. I am going to school and I have a 3 years old son. However, the interesting part is that I have this desire within me to go to study abroad in the language that I am studying right now. I am constantly battling with this thought that if I don't I will regret it. But also I live with the child's father who does not want me to leave for a whole year (that's how long the program is). So, really I have to choose either between my relationship struggling or my making my dream come true (or regretting it if I don't go) I want to take the child with me, and I only want to go if I get qualifying financial aid, but am still struggling with the decisions. He cannot come with me because he is not eligible to leave the country for that long due to immigration at this time.
Any advice?
P.S I am 25 years old-just if you guys are curious!
It depends on why you want to go and the nature of your relationship. If you value the relationship and think that this will ruin it, then I would consider are there other opportunities to get the experience later down the line. If you need this experience to be fulfilled and know you will regret not going because there may be no other opportunities, then I would seriously lean toward going. Knowing what I know about relationships and life - I personally would go - and not even consider looking back.
If it were me, there is no way in hell I'd be able to leave my son. That's absolutely out of the question, and it wouldn't matter to me if I was throwing my dream away. I'd never even think of putting myself first in that situation.
I say, that if you have to come aboard a public forum to express your feelings about what you should do, then you already deep down know the answer. Go for it!

I think she said that she will take the son with her???
I'd do it, if I were you! The opportunity likely will not come around again. Take the kid and assure the SO that you and the kid will be fine. A year isn't that long, really.
I thought that she was talking about her ex not being able to go with her, or was it her child?
No, you're right. The kid goes, the SO stays.
