Single mom

Shannon • Mommy to the most perfect and handsome little boy, Grayson Alexander💙 11.10.2016

I just recently became a single mom due to my now ex boyfriend deciding out of nowhere we were done and kicked me out of the apartment we shared together with our 1 year old son...it will be 2 weeks tomorrow since the night it happened and everyday that passes just feels worse and worse because in a blink of an eye i lost my boyfriend, my best friend, my vision of a family and future, everything.

I had to move back into my moms house and everything about that stresses me out. Going from living with your little family to now being back in a parents house at 22 jusy kills me. I feel as though i can’t parent my child without my mom wanting to step in and do it all. Don’t get me wrong i love my mom and greatly appreciate that she let me move back in but i still feel like i am allowed to feel this way.

I just constantly keep thinking about how i could have prevented this from happening because i loved(and still do love) him. My heart aches not having the person i want and my heart hurts so bad that my son will never get to have his parents together. I grew up with divorced parents from the age of 3 and i know how badly i wanted to have the family that was together and i never wanted this to ever happen to my son...

Some days i just wonder if i will ever find someone who is going to want to be with me and take on my son as well. How do single moms do it😔 i try to stay so strong for the sake of my son but some days i just want to scream and cry.

Thanks for letting me vent and I’d totally love to hear what you other single moms have to say.
