OhI personally don't get her attitude towards having kids either. I am a 27 year old single mum to my 8yo son with autism. This life wasn't chosen I was in a relationship that fell apart when my son was only a few months old and still takes nothing to do with him. I've accepted being a single mum but it's tough especially with a child who has additional needs. I home educate my son and it's draining. Never would I promote this way of life! (although I'm enjoying the ride now,) Sure plenty of children grew up with one parent and turn out OK. I wish I had my dad was a very cruel man. However its hard on the single parent who's left to do absolutely everything while feeling the hugest amount of mum guilt ever... I can't get into a relationship and it kinda boils my blood how blasé she is about it... She has no clue
I hope you’ll find some day someone as great as you without being guilty and I think you’re beyond everything a great mum and your son is very lucky to have someone like you.
