I asked my ds for his christmas list last week, this morning he has given it to me.
For a bit of background his Dad is abusive, we lived in a refuge for a while, we are in our house now and life has settled nicely and has been for a while (I namechange regularly due to abusive ex)
Until about 20 minutes ago I didn't realise how much I have been relying on my ds and I feel like shit.
All he has asked for is various tools, I know it is all for jobs he wants to do around the house.
This isn't normal is it.
When I think back to how much I relied on him when we moved to help with decorating and various odd jobs I quite honestly feel like the worst mother in the world. He goes out a lot, has made friends etc, but he phones me to check on me a fair bit when he is out.
I've made him grow up well before his time, and I don't know how to fix it, please help.
