Anyone else just feel like they aren’t doing right for their child or feeling like perhaps people judge you when your not there!

Yes, every day.

All you can do is try your best and do what you think is right for your child(ren). It may be right, it may be wrong, but in the end it is all any of us can do.

No, I refuse to feel like that.

I work my arse off to give my ds a life full of opportunities. A life that doesn't involve sharing a house with a drunk ( his df).

DS is safe, loved, well fed & clothed, good school. He has his hobbies and computing and his bike. I'm proud of the home/life I provide for him.

Anyone who makes sneery comments gets short shrift from me.

Don't let them make you feel that way. Most lone mums do an outstanding job xx

Please don’t be hard on yourself. I’m sure you are a good mother and everything is going to be ok x
