Thank you but honestly I’m disappointed in myself for not leaving earlier.
Probably 9 or 10. I used to be hyper sexual as a teen, which is how I ended up pregnant at 15.

My rehabilitated abusive ex-boyfriend wants to meet with me and our son
I am 27 years old and I am a single mother of a 12 year old son (Yes I had him at 15). I have been single for a few years now ever since I left my son’s biological father who used to abuse me physically/sexually. He developed alcohol problems later in our relationship and he could barely keep a job, and he ended up developing extreme anger issues as a result. His abuse was mostly behind closed doors and never in front of my son. A few years later now, he calls me from another number explaining how he finished rehab, meets with a therapist weekly, and meditates every morning. He apologized a ton and he only asked to meet with my son and I in a casual environment to check up on us. (He explicitly said he doesn’t expect me to forgive him). I have not and will never forgive him, nor will I ever re-enter a relationship with him, but he does sound like a different person, so should I meet with him?

My abusive ex used to yell at the tv when his team would lose or do something stupid. His alcoholism only made it worse and he would often take his anger out on me.
The packs come in different colors so I use the white ones and he uses the grey ones.
Broke single mom here. My H&M usually offers a buy one get one discount on boys’ cotton boxers, so whenever I buy a pack for my 12 year old son, I grab myself one as well and they serve pretty well as pajama shorts which I pair with a cheap oversized cotton tee.
Thank you so much for your words :)

I have no time for myself as a single mom
I’ve been a single mom for a few years now after getting out of an abusive relationship with my 12 year old son’s biological father. I’m 27 now (Yes I had him at 15), I work 2 jobs, and I take care of my son. Even working 2 jobs, I’m still barely getting by, and sometimes I feel like a terrible mother since I can’t give my child the perfect life he deserves. On top of that, I always come home exhausted from work, and once I’m done making dinner for my kid, I feel beat. It’s like I have no time for myself, or even to just sit down and breathe. I have gotten some support from my parents when it comes to babysitting here and there. Financially I feel stuck, because I couldn’t get a college degree since I was taking care of my son at the time. I haven’t had much luck when it comes to applying to better paying jobs. Dating also feels impossible as a single mom, and I really don’t want to settle when it comes to finding a stepdad for my son. I’m just so exhausted.
Edit: Thank you all for th
Well considering I’m going to be around my son and other family members that’s not really possible lmao.
It’s more of the general exposure of my midriff, cleavage, and cheeks. But I’ll probably just say fuck it and rock it anyways lol.
Tattoo reccomendations?

Now that you say this, I had a talk recently with him about me wanting to date again and the possibility of a stepdad

What do you call your mom? (Or moms what do your kids call you?)
I’m a young mom with a pre-teen son and he’s called me “mommy” up until he was about 10 and a half. Since then he’s been calling me “Ma” which I find pretty cute. Especially when he extends it to “Maaa” when yelling from another room. Maybe it’s a southern thing lol. Just curious about what y’all call your moms?
Honestly I felt like I slept a lot better lmao

Dating advice for a single mom?
I’m a 27 year old single mom with a 12 year old son (Yes I was 15 when I had him) and I got out of a physically/sexually abusive relationship with my son’s biological father a few years ago. I haven’t had any serious relationships since then, but recently I’ve been feeling kind of lonely and exhausted since I work two jobs and take care of my son. I was planning on getting back into dating, so I was wondering if I could get a man’s perspective on how to navigate dating as a single mom since most men aren’t willing to take on my “baggage” (Hate this term). I’ve been hit on quite a few times by men my age in public places when i’m alone on the street or at the gym, but when I tell them I have a kid they seem to be immediately disinterested. (Not necessarily blaming them)
I’m looking for a long term partner who is obviously very willing to take on the task of being a father. Outside of great personal qualities, I’d like someone who can help me financially just enough so I can quit one of
He tells me he gets scared at night as well. He also has diagnosed hyperactive ADHD which might make him restless at night.
Typically his physical/sexual abuse was only directed to me behind closed doors and never towards our son. One night, he came home super drunk (Suffered from alcoholism) and started loudly yelling at our son randomly. I stepped in and he slapped me. That’s kind of when I decided I had enough, and I told him to leave. He broke down and I convinced him to go to rehab and I ended the relationship.
I have a pretty good relationship with my parents now. They definitely help me with taking care of my son every now and then. They are kind of pressuring me to try dating again.
When I first told them I was pregnant, my dad was pretty pissed initially and my mom was super disappointed but they kind of cooled off and became more supportive which I appreciated.

Thoughts on co-sleeping ?
I’m a 27 year old single mother and I have a 12 year old son. Recently he’s been knocking on my door in the middle of the night because he can’t sleep and he asks to sleep with me. I’ve been letting him since neither of us really have a problem with it and it’s kind of nice not having to sleep alone every night. However, I’ve heard and seen some things online that seem controversial about co-sleeping with a child past a certain age. I definitely don’t want to negatively affect his development, so I guess what are your thoughts?

I had my son when I was 15, AMA
A few years ago I left my abusive ex. Now I’m a 27 year old single mother and my son is 12. I work 2 jobs and take care of my son. Ask me anything.
