Need to stay strong

My relationship ended today.

He said he was coming over to hang out with one of my sons and now isn’t going to. Again.

It’s one thing to disappoint me, but my son doesn’t need to have another person let him down.

I started having some anxiety but am trying to remind myself of all the negative things he has brought to my life.

I hate feeling lonely and alone and think this is why I’ve stayed in this emotional roller coaster of a relationship.

I hope I stay strong and don’t take him back like I’ve always done.

I'm so sorry for you and your son. I've dated a couple single mothers and when it didn't work out. The hardest thing for me was disappointing or hurting the kid. I hope you find happiness and a man who will love you and your son and treat you both the way y'all deserve. Stay irie, one love.

Has he ended it?

No, I did. He knew if he didn’t follow through again with my kids, I couldn’t continue our relationship.

He promised he would spend the day today with my son but he overslept.

If this only happened a couple of times, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

But he did it 3 times this week.

My son was so hurt.

Plus countless other times.

My older two have let it be known that they think he’s controlling, I dependable, and that I deserve someone who treats me nicer.

I have to come to grips that they are right.

You are doing the right thing. What matters is your own mental health. Do not go back. I ended my marriage and it's the best thing I did bc it was an emotional roller coaster too. Now is the time to save your youth and energy and restart fresh and new, a new life for you and your child. Im going through a lot w my ex right now but Im soo happy I walked away. With just a little more time Im going to be a pig in you know what bc I got 50% of everything and I'll have my son beside me in a new place with no stress of the ups and downs of a relationship. You did the right thing! Now stick to your decision. It's hard to get over someone but it's not impossible. Love yourself and value yourself enough to start fresh and new within a new life and maybe a new love!!! Bc we never know what the future holds!

It could be more than u ever imagined!

Why settle for less? Take care.
