Struggling new mom

Hi everyone.

I just need to come on here and rant.

I am 20, single mom, and work and in college.

I live with my parents while I try to find a place for my son and I. My parents also help watch my son while I am at work.

I just recently got a new job teaching ballet and yoga! It’s great because I’ll have more time for college and my son.

However, I got an offer to audition for a professional ballet company, and this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

My father told me im a horrible mom if I did the audition and that I should put my son up for adoption. He also was lunging at me like he was going to grab or hit me while he was yelling this.

I’d obviously stop working at the yoga and ballet place because the company would be my full time job. And I would most likely have to go to school part time for a year or two. Not to mention I’m ahead of my grade and would graduate 2 semester early if I stay on track.

I’m just astounded at how a parent could say those words. I would never look at my son and say that.

I already feel like my son deserves better. I just want to diapers sometimes.. especially after that.
