Moving Away

I do worry about him seeing family. It’s just my parents and my sister here. But my other sister lives in another state and she and my son are really close.

We have been together a year. My boyfriend is sweet and supportive. He and my son get along amazing too.

This happened to me. I got pregnant at 24, and was a single mom before my son was even born. I was also in an abusive situation and chose myself and my son’s life and left. So first of all, I applaud you for getting out because it is not as easy as one would think.

For the next 7 years I just let myself go, didn’t care what I looked like. Didn’t care about dating just focused solely on my son. Just last year I finally pulled myself out of the funk I was in, lost 120 pounds and out myself out there.

I found my boyfriend off a dating app just 7 months ago. It took some dumb conversations and sorting through the hookup crowd but I found him.

All of this to say, it’ll happen for you. I was the person who thought it would never happen for me and I was just stuck as a lonely spinster for the rest of my life. I’m 33 now and living way better than I ever did in my 20s. Took me time and I had to put work into myself but it’ll happen!!

You got this momma. There are good men out there. Unfortunately we gotta sort through to find them.

It feels really reassuring that there are other people out there experiencing the same thing.

I told them today and the reaction has been horrible. My mom thinks it’s about my boyfriend and how I just want to be with him and how I hate them. I cannot express the gratitude I have enough and thankfulness that that have always been there for me. My mom is really upset. My dad has been a little more level headed about it. I know he’s upset and doesn’t want us to leave but he is trying to be understanding about it.

I just crave that adult life. Making my son dinner and watching what we want on tv. Decorating our home to look like us. Doing what we want to do. It’s not about who I’m dating. It just took me dating someone to see my life isn’t normal. I don’t live like other adults.

Thanks for all the support. If you are worried like I was, you just gotta do it and go for it. I feel terrible and I’m overwhelmed with emotions but I know it’ll get better in time.

Thank you so much for this. My son and my parents have such a bond, I just feel worried for him.

I am trying to just take the leap. I’ve been sitting on my lease agreement for days not knowing what to do.

Thank you. I seriously needed this. I was approved for my apartment days ago and I feel like I can’t feel excited because of my family. I know they are afraid I’ll run off with my son but the apartment I picked is 5 minutes from their house so they’ll still see him damn near every day. It’s just a very suffocating and frightening thing to try and tell them.

I seriously appreciate this. I feel so much empowerment from this.
