Mom, I’m tired.
Hi Mom.
It’s been a long time. I’m still divorcing my son’s father, my family is estranged, my village insults/treats me like a pariah, and my SO is emotionally volatile.
Mom, I just need encouragement for getting this far. For staying alive even when my ex told me I’d be better off dead and our son with his new gf, for not self-harming, drinking, or drugging, like I might have done.
Mom, I’m strong for my kids, I have to be. Can you tell me I’m doing well to be strong? Can you tell me to keep on going, that the world is beautiful and even more beautiful with me in it?

Hello Sweetheart!! I’m so glad you wrote to us. There is no question that this world is a better place with you in it, and anyone telling you otherwise has an opinion that should never be respected.
You are working so hard to be a wonderful mom, and seeking out a new life for yourselves. You will get there, you will make it. You have made wonderful decisions already, staying away from things that would take the focus off of where you need it most. You are intelligent, resilient and creative, and you will push past this moment in time and go on to have joy in the days and years to come.
Please write any time you need support, and I am sending a hug to you and the little guy !
Much love, mom
Ah, thanks mom. Happy crying!
So proud of you, keep it up !
