I wish there was someone out there to be my family.

I don't know how I continue pushing. Sick, tired, working every day and being a parent without any support in a country that just keeps making it harder to exist.

My son is disappointed because we can't afford fun things. I've been trying to get him a bike for a year but every time I have a few extra bucks something breaks or needs fixed.

I do everything for the house and his dad is supposed to help but he is a literal blob on the floor. Anything that is his responsibility piles up until I do it. And he won't be a parent. He gets done with work and sits on his phone the rest of the day. I have asked him at least a hundred times to please try for our son's sake, but he simply won't do it and I can't force him, we're divorced.

My life is pathetic.

Everyone I've met for last ten years has been a taker. Not anyone I would allow around my son.

I wish so so so bad that my son had a real dad. I wish all the work I did paid me enough to survive. I have tried and tried and have been let down over and over.

Why can't there be one person that loves us?

Why can't there be one person that wants to get off their ass and play with us and laugh and help?

Why don't we deserve that?

What have I done so bad? Why am I so ugly and unlovable I have to drag my son through his life like I am a hindrance to him.

I haven't cried about this in awhile. I've tried to shut up and be strong but that doesn't do any good either.

I'm to the point of charging food on my credit card. I work every single day. How is it not enough? Why am I not enough?

Why doesn't anyone care about us?

I am so sorry, I hear you and feel you more than well, more than I want to say!!!🤗❤

Is any of this in a court document?

That way I had at least SOME recourse when he fkd up and he usually fkd up, so.

(It is/was very painful, very hard and like your ex(from what you've written) mine is a narcissist and or a socipath and or a physcopath.)

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON No we had a very peaceful divorce and decided to coparent as roommates to make things easier and more affordable and to make our son happy.

He's just a very depressed person and unwilling to help himself. I've offered help over and over and I have nothing left to sacrifice to him. He's a bottomless pit. He's 400lbs and not a horrible guy, just incredibly apathetic. He's suicidal but swears he won't leave our son. I don't know what to do.

It makes everything so much harder for me. But our son loves having his dad here. I'm stuck.

I hear you. I really hear you. Every word you wrote didn't just pass by my eyes - it landed, heavy and real, in the pit of my stomach. The exhaustion, the relentless work that never feels like enough, the heartbreak of seeing your son's disappointment, the crushing loneliness of doing it all while someone who should help just... doesn't. The question that screams in the quiet: "Why am I not enough?"

I don't have the answers. I don't have a magic wand to fix the broken things, to fill your bank account, to hand your son that bike, or to change a heart that refuses to show up. I can't do any of that. And I won't insult you or your struggle by offering empty easy fixes. There are none.

But I can tell you this, with absolute certainty: your words were felt. The raw truth of them, the pain, the love for your son that is the engine keeping you going even when you're running on fumes - it all matters. It is seen.

For what it's worth... Your fight is enough. Your love is enough. You are enough.
The fact that the world hasn't mirrored that back to you is the world's error, not yours.

With all difficulty comes ease. This is the order of the Universe, and a promise made to you.
Please stick it out, hang in there. Peace will arrive. Safety will come.

May you continue becoming more you in the best ways possible. May love meet you gently, peace stay longer than expected, and happiness find you so effortlessly it almost feels like fate was showing off.
If there's any way I could help your son to get his bike I would like to be part of that
@ScreamingFox I can help too. I know you’re not asking 💚.

What if I contribute to getting him a bike?
ScreamingFox · 41-45, F
@Hoodski tbh even if you just had some bike knowledge to share so I knew what to get him? I know there's different sizes, he's a tallish 11. He's really good on a scooter so I don't think he needs training wheels or anything embarrassing like that 😂 I'm embarrassed.

@ScreamingFox shoot me a message and we will figure something out
There's just so little compassion and love in this world, and so much greed and dishonesty.

@EarthlingWise I will keep searching for peace 🖤
@ScreamingFox You're right.
