A few years ago I left my abusive ex. Now I’m a 27 year old single mother and my son is 12. I work 2 jobs and take care of my son. Ask me anything.

    I work for part time for quest diagnostics and as a waitress on weekends.

    I don’t interact too much with my son’s friends, but they are usually pretty surprised when they see me. I remember opening the door when my son’s friends came over for the first time and one of them asked if I was his older sister!

    My relationship with my son is pretty great. Recently he’s been kind of his pre-teen era but we’re still very close. I feel like being a younger mom also helps me relate to him a little more.

      Oh you’re the woman from the other question! Sorry I just connected the names. Well it sounds to me like you’re doing pretty well, teenagers are fucking horrendous in general and the fact he’s still close and talking to you at all is a success in and of itself
