To me

having been a single parent for 12 and a half years is the equivalent of having been a parent in a two parent household for 25.

It's worn on me.

At the end of my fucking rope Lucy.

There's not enough to use to tie a knot and hang on.

Need a break.

Soon.

I do the best I can or know how.

When it's still not appreciated?

Well...Good luck with life son.

I didn't have to fight for him like I did.

I could have just let him go to his mom when he was 2 and a half.

But for his well being and his future I did what I did cause I wanted him to have a chance at life.

Now this is the thanks and appreciation I get?

Nice.

Thanks.
