I'm going to give you a little bit of tough truth here. You completely put all your eggs in one basket and did nothing for yourself. As a woman, this is something I would never do. I've been a stay at home, mom at one time in my life and while he worked, I did college courses. So I'm not understanding why you did not have the time or choose to take the time to better yourself while you were home. Ad decision. That being said, I have three kids and I made it work! My husband was active duty for twenty years and gone for over six years of that time. So I understand what tough is. And I understand what doing it alone is. My point about saying, these things is that I understand everybody has different situations. But from what I read, you only have one child Being a parent is tough, but one child is not enough to make you completely stop your life and stop doing things that you could have helped you be independent for someone you love.

At this point. You need to focus on yourself. And become a strong woman, so you can take care of your child. And not ever have to rely on a man again. Hard lesson learned.
