My eldest son is 18 now. He has a good apprenticeship and is doing well.

I left his dad when he was a baby because his dad was a criminal. If I'd stayed my son would probably be a criminal now too.

I've raised all my four children basically alone. The father of the younger ones would never live with me even though he wanted to marry me which is stupid.

After years I found out partially the reason he didn't want to live with me is because he was involved in criminal activity too. I ended that relationship too.

My children are better with just me. I 100% believe that. They are happy, engage at school, social. We do everything a family with two parents would do.

The thing they lack is seeing a healthy relationship example. I can't give them that because I have this extremely fantastic knack of picking terrible men. All I can do is tell them things I've read and hope that "if you can't do it teach it applies"

So you have faith in yourself. Do your best. Your best is good enough. You don't have to be perfect, good enough. Others have inaccurate opinions, that's their problem, focus on you and your son because he's the next generation which is far more important than the opinions from past generations.
