Well, in all honesty my brothers are here,and my mom, but I don't want their company. I want online company, problem is all my local contacts have lives AND, AND, I've pretty much withdrawn from them, i think they know way too much about me and don't even getit, so I put my mask back on. Then there's you guys, my (((family))) but the time difference between us is a tad bit crazy (it's nearly 10pm)... Guess I just wanted to connect with people who get me

I get what you mean. I feel like company is more or less bothersome... They know my bad moments and judge judge judge...

Aaaaaw thanks you guys! I really love you guys ya know. Just a bit sad this week... Bf is distant, and Christmas was daddy's favourite holiday. Job contract is over in a week, have no idea how I'm going to cover schoolfees,stationary and transport come January. All I ever wanted these last 9yrs was to be a good mom and since i basically suck at caregiving i thought i could be a good provider and 'friend' and for a few years it seemed like i was succeeding, i became my version of good mom! But like most of you know, i got laid off in Feb, and it's just been downhill since then. Mountain of debt, failed at playing round the clock stay at home mom, and now i'm earning a few bucks a day which doesn't cover ANYTHING, and is over next week anyway feels like I failed Jordan, she used to look up to me... I didn't mean to whine, just a bit overwhelmed...

I can't count the times over the years that I felt like I failed my boys. I was always working long hours for little pay, very little sleep. I even stole food to feed them for about 2 years. But now they are grown and have wives and kids of their own and they have told me more than I few times what a great Mom I was.

I learned too late that kids see things differently than we do. All they want is warm hugs and for you to just be there as much as possible.

Be kinder to yourself. I bet your little one thinks you are a great Mom too.

Trippin, I also get you. This is a place where we can be ourselves without the fear of being judged.

You have to know that I love you to pieces. If you don't think I do, you are 100% wrong.

Thanks for the support, understanding and hugs. I'm trying to be positive about next year. There's a possibility that I MIGHT be going to sing in Austria for 3months, but at this stage it's a big fat maybe, so this weekend I will be emailing my resume to every vacancy I can find! I know Jordan doesn't see me as a failure (right now) but I also know that she thinks her sperm donor is useless. I just don't want her thinking 1 day, that she got a raw deal having 2 lousy parents... SunAngel, I love you too
Thanks for this!

Trippin - many of your posts have helped get me thru the day. Even when I don't write a comment or reply. Tsunami, you too. I don't have a T so all of you are my therapy sessions! Together we can hold each other up
