A year ago, I was in such a unhealthy relationship. I was mentally and physically abused. I put up with someone who never worked for more than 2 months and was basically living off of me while I worked to keep our little family stable. I've never met a man so lazy and so cold hearted... both towards myself and my son. A year ago, I lost my baby boy due to SIDS when he was 7 months old. It made me hit rock bottom with my depression and finally opened up my eyes that I only stayed with that man because of our child together. I tried to end my life to be with my son.

I finally cut ALL ties with my son's father last year In August. And earlier this Year in January I met my now Boyfriend. And he is the Complete opposite of what I had. He does anything in his power to show me how much he loves me and cares for me. He always comes and visits me and surprises me with small gifts. Never once has he raised his voice at me. He knows about my past. He knows about my son. He's the first person I tell all the details I went through... he knows I was never appreciated and never had Mother's Day celebrated. And this is what he Randomly texted me out of the blue....

He's such an amazing person. I'm so lucky to have him. I cry thinking this is the man my son should've looked up to. I cry wishing they would've met. But I know things happen for a reason and my son is now looking down at me with a smiling face that I finally have someone by my side who truly loves me.
