I wish I had a family so I could die and my son wouldn’t have no one,

Since we have no one, I just live in this pain for him. It’s so frustrating. I love him so much, I would never leave him. I don’t know which would ruin his life more, me dying or me raising him alone never being enough.

I have tried EVERYTHING. I miss my Mom, she would of hugged me at least, even if she was still in the dementia ward, she knew who I was. But thankfully she doesn’t have to suffer anymore. She just left me with this mess. I couldn’t do that to my sweet boy.

Suffering for him is worth living for I guess.

You dying would hurt him more than anything.. I feel your pain though more than you could know ❤️
I'm going to be a betting girl and say he not only admires you, but sees you in an entirely different light than expected; that you're actually MORE than enough.

My childhood was different than his, but nonetheless, extremely difficult. This is why/where/how my assurance is strong about this. Although it's tough for you to watch and cope with the only lifestyle you can provide at this point, these experiences are humbling him. They're strengthening him vs weakening him even though he likely displays signs of being the latter, which is completely natural and understandable. We all have moments of weakness when all of our needs are met.💖

You're trying hard, which says a lot about your strength and character. Please be gentle with yourself. 🌸✨

@RebelFox I’ve been there a couple times… that’s when I end up back on an anti depressant just to give me a boost so I can climb my way back up and out of it

@WaryWitchWandering I’ve tried meds and they always make it worse. I need hugs. It’s really that simple but it’s hard when you’re a loser and can’t meet people.

@RebelFox you’re not a loser… but your environment is bumming you out

Oh mama, huge hugs, believe me, you are not alone in feeling this way at all. I have been where you are, I have three babies, and I swear if it wasn't for them, I doubt I would even try to get through the day. I often wonder how much better my kids' lives would be if I were not around. I keep trying, for them, because the last thing I want to do is be the reason for their pain & suffering.

@TinyViolins but which am I? I still feel like a pup and my parents already left me. It’s like I don’t exist anyway.

@RebelFox You are what you wish to define yourself as. Nobody can tell you how to feel or what to believe, though they'll certainly try. The only person who knows you is you.

The problem with defining ourselves by our relationships is that when those relationships end, we no longer know who we are or what we stand for. It becomes a struggle to find our identity in a world so callous to our needs.

We have to learn through pain what other people learned through love, as unfair and unbearable as it is. But from my point of view, the universe gave you that pain for a reason. It made you strong so that you can carry those who lack the strength. It gave you that pain so that you could recognize it in others. It's giving you wisdom to be a guide for the lost souls out there. You had to suffer so that others don't have to.

Imagine if you were one of those selfish parents that abandoned their children or left them to fend for themselves. That let themselves get lost to drugs or alcohol or sex while their children's needs were left unmet. Who were so preoccupied with themselves and their appearance, their children grew to expect neglect and stopped loving them.

It might not seem like it, but pain is temporary. How many things from 5 or 10 years ago still hurt as much as it did the day it happened?

Without going into a long story, just let me say I know he believes you are enough. You are his mom. That covers it. You are more than enough.

Would you die to save your son ?
kodiac · 22-25, M
@RebelFox I hope my response didn't come across as cold it was meant to be supportive. I do understand how being alone makes things a lot harder ,been on my own all my life . If there was a way I'd come give you those hugs.
WaryWitchWandering · 36-40, F
@kodiac I understand now… sorry 😞
kodiac · 22-25, M
@WaryWitchWandering No worries it was my wording that sounded bad

It's hard now but you'll likely miss his childhood when he grows up.
And don't feel you're not enough.

Get over yourself.

@SW-User You’re such a dick 😆 An insensitive, unevolved, mass produced dick.

I should shoot YOU in the fkn head 😂

Time goes quick before you know it he will be grown up. He needs you so stay stong and hang in there.
Justenjoyit · 61-69, M
@RebelFox Pain that you need someone?
RebelFox · 36-40, F
@Justenjoyit I don’t think many people understand that I do not get any breaks. Now he doesn’t want to go to his dads at all. I don’t stop and when I do, shit doesn’t get done, that shit piles up. And this house is a nightmare 😆 Every facet of my life is empty of compassion and full of pain. and this is not the life I tried to build. Sure I have stuff, but that’s never what I wanted. I’ve worked SO hard on myself, I’ve done all I can so my son has a beautiful life, and somehow ended up dog shit. All I gave, doesn’t mean anything. There is no love for me. Tbh I feel better having pushed everyone away so it’s not so confusing.

In short, yeah, I want to be loved and I want someone to hug. I don’t think that’s much to ask, but it evades me and instead I get pain. I’m so tired. I’m so close to the edge. I’m the one holding myself back because I’d never leave my son. But I don’t believe there’s any way out of this. I’m unloveable.
