ok. this is going to sound ridiculous to probably most of you but maybe there's someone who can relate. if so, please could you write me just a few words. i feel so alone. i'm a divorced single mom, living in public housing, no money, going to college. my boy wanted to have a friend over with his mom and younger sister. i agreed but i really don't want to. they're coming in a few hours, later this morning. i'm a nervous wreck. they're a "christian" family. so many "christians" have turned their back on me, judging me for leaving my ex. they have no idea. too much to go into detail now. this woman is married, nice big house lots of land, stays at home. i feel like i'm going all the time always trying to catch up. doing lots with my boys--take them to beach, etc. activities that they enjoy. i want their life to be as happy as possible even though their home has been split. and they are very happy boys. the reason for my anxiety is that i don't want what adults judge me for to affect my boys. i want his friend to be able to come over again. i love my boys so much. i'm afraid their mom will frown on me too. i have so much to clean before she gets here, laundry, boy's breakfast, no place to organize toys. i was in the middle of putting together cheap metal shelves for boys' closets. none of us have beds, only mattresses on the floor, no livingroom couch. i don't want to embarrass my son or have his friend make fun of him. anyone have any words?
