I had an extremely vivid nightmare involving my son

I think what it means is I need to give up on my own happiness, I’ve been too selfish, even though I’ve hardly been selfish at all, he deserves more. It’s a very complicated feeling having no help, no love, no family, but needing to be everything to someone else, a child, who also doesn’t have much family, love or help.

I feel like it’s just the two of us. No one wants to or can be part of our little family and that’s okay. I need to accept it now and just focus on creating a beautiful, meaningful life for my boy.

I’m so burnt out. But my idea is to dedicate myself to him and his fun, his growth and learning. Do everything relentlessly and eventually fade to nothing. I hope I live longer than my parents so I can be there for my boy as long as possible.

I’m nothing without him anyway. That’s the truth.

and that beautiful little life for him involves you being happy.

@SW-User I don’t deserve happiness apparently. Of course he makes me happy, but I’m so burnt out I’m disassociating. I get nothing. I have to learn to drive this car with no gas.

@RebelFox I don't believe you don't deserve happiness, but I can understand the feeling. I don't have your responsibilities, no child, and I find it tough to be on my feet (metaphorically), and I know single mothers and how sad they are often. It's more reflective as their children are grown now, but I would find hope in their stories if I were them.

@SW-User there is no hope

@RebelFox isn't it when we lose hope, we shed what often people find attractive in spirit?

@SW-User I’ve tried to be attractive long enough, now I have to be a mom. Nobody wants us so I have to do it all. I don’t even have the energy to do it all but I have to do it all. Who cares about being attractive. Great some dude will fuck me, but nobody stays. They don’t see me that deeply

@RebelFox I think it becomes harder the older you get, I'm on a long drought. I've learned to not care in a way and accept I may be forever alone. It hurts at times, and some needs don't change. I appreciate your openness in expression, someone else will see that, close to you, and also want what you desire I hope
