Wishing I’d done things right

My parents weren’t together and I’m raising my son the same way and I hate it I feel like I’m not enough for him and I feel like he’ll never have a good sense of family and may lack many things because he doesn’t have his dad in the house, I didn’t realize how broken I was until I had my son and it’s constantly on my mind I now completely understand why people fake it and stay together for the kids if I had the option I would do it my sons dad treated me like trash bc I let him it took me a while to heal from and not sure if I fully even have I just wish I could rewind time and be strong and walk away I deserved better and so does my son I see so many young couples in love and I just pray all the younger girls are with men who truly love value and respect them and don’t waste their youth on someone who’s not for them , being a single mom is so tough and I’m always drained and I want to do so many things w/ my son but sometimes I’m just mentally dead I think I’m just venting lol I don’t even know what direction I’m going w/ this post !

I can relate 💕

I feel you! I been crying half of today because i cant rely on nobody when my body's in pain or mentally tapped out. I feel like a bad mom sometimes. But for other perspective, my parents stayed together 29 years! My mom faked it because she thought staying together was not only best but also "what we wanted"-- life sucked, there was various kinds of abuse and we all (4kids) wished theyd divorced since we could remember. Its hard to break free from toxic environments and abuse, so the fact you're FREE from him now is something to be proud of. Just keep doing your best, and prioritize YOU so you can keep doing good and your son will pick up on that. You set the tone. Youre doing fine

I can relate, I wish I was raising my son with a strong father. My parents are still married though been married 30+ so I was looking to so the same but that didn't happen at the time
