lol I'm a mother of just one boy.

I'm in New York so it's pretty lonely here too

in reply to jewlz17

Freaking loved New York.

I lived alone. Things were good for a while. But New York treated me pretty good.

I envy you.

Nothing to really envy I've lived here all my life I wouldn't mind visiting other places for a bit better.

I'm sure Chicago not that bad

No. Chicago isn't so bad. But if it were up to me...I'd be in New York.

Could always move back 😜

in reply to jewlz17

Can't say moving back hasn't crossed my mind. Lol

You should try Chicago for a while. Less expensive than NY 😏

As tempting as that is it'll be a while before I can up and go but maybe a vacation some day 🤔

in reply to jewlz17

Exactly what I meant.

I like to pressure good people.

Lol I bet you do but you have a better chance of moving here then me leaving on a vacation

in reply to jewlz17

Crap! I meant to say I don't like pressuring good people. But I really don't have any way of getting to NY. 😔

lol don't worry I know what you meant. I'm sure if you could move back you will eventually.

in reply to jewlz17

Meh, perhaps. I'd need a good reason to do so.

If you envy me for living here then you must really love the idea moving back what better reason do you need just do something for you 😜😁

lol I didn't mean right away more like save up build a plan and see what happens nothing wrong with having goals

in reply to jewlz17

True....but my life has been ruined for some time. I'm trying to build myself back up and it's taking me a really long time. I've lost everything to my name thanks to my ex wife and my last 2 previous relationships.

You can't lose something unless you give it up. You can rebuild your life make your own choices that's the best part of being an adult no one can tell you not to do something you just have to focus and keep going everything you do counts for something

I gave up being a Chicago cop for my boys and my last relationship. She grew insecure and accused me constantly cheating. Thanks to her last 2 previous failed marriages she was already damaged, she was just really good at hiding it. Since my job as a detective was to read people, I was able to catch but too late.

Just giving up on one thing doesn't mean you give up on life find things that make you happy .your kids will grow up looking up to you realizing that your never gave up that life knocked you down but you never stayed down you kept going.

in reply to jewlz17

They've (my boys) noticed. And their mothers have noticed that too, they envied that about me and started hating me for it. They would say that they hate me for not sharing my endurance and my strength. And I tell them "how can I, when all they want to do is to take the wheel and drive us into a circle or a brick wall."

The ex wife cheated and the mother of my 2nd born was a narcissistically blind and barely took me seriously. Neither one of them did. Maybe in the beginning but started to fade. Like they were acting and dropped the character.

Then keep going don't let them stop you and don't stop yourself from believing you can get what you want. There will always be people that envy you but that not on you that's on them.

Means a lot to me for you to say that.
