Lately my sons dad and I have been having some serious relationship issues. He refuses to put in the time and effort into his child and myself. My child is 2 years old. All he does is sit around on his phone. Social media, games, whatever. He talks to people on his game with his ear buds and he’s on his phone for damn near at least 12 hrs between social media and games. I’m like at a breaking point. I’ve been raising my child who is autistic mind you, alone. I’ve told him many times this isn’t working out but for 1, he lost his job recently so he’s always home. 2, he doesn’t give his child the time of day. No stories, no bath time, no tooth brushing, nothing. My child cuddles and loves on me all the time, he won’t even sit still with his dad. This breaks my heart because either way the child gets hurt. I don’t want to hurt my child. For me tho, I need to be happy so my child can see me happy. His dad don’t talk much. He has so much to say to people around the world but not us.

I’ve been a sahm and to be honest, I can’t make it out in the world on my own. My son is starting therapy soon and I need to be available for that. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve went on 1 interview and they said it wasn’t worth hiring me for such few hours which would’ve been 5 hours a day, 3 days a week. Idk anymore honestly.

Update

I’m not saying I gave up for a job. Taking a step back, trying to figure out what I need to improve on. Also trying to find a local job to where he will be. And they are not lenient on pick up and drop offs. 10 mins is all they will wait until they start charging which I can’t afford. It’s ABA therapy and it’s not like any other therapy. They don’t call off for bad weather, they never get any snow days. The only way he can miss is if he’s sick, even then they have a strict attendance policy that I have to obey. Can’t be having him kicked out it’s the only aba center out here.
