"Mother doesn't think I'll be able to manage it on my own"

How's that for creating guilt and fear?

Of course you can manage on your own with your husband and child. It will be
different, certainly, but much better for you in the long run to be independent
and working on life's opportunities and gifts.

At your son's young age, he will develop new friendships very easily and soon be happily on his way to a healthy childhood with good neighbors and many friends.

It's such a healthy and positive thing to strike out on your own in life. It makes you grow inwardly so well and strengthens you to manage the difficulties that do occur in life for all of us.

There will always be medical help in case you need it and therapy if you ever have a cause for it.

It's a very wise thing you are considering doing and a natural process in growing to full maturity.

I hope you just love it.
