Feel worthless as a single mum

[Singlemum1999]

Me and my ds dad split up 6 months ago after 9 years, I'm 23. I work full time but at the moment but I rely on him for so much. He gives us lifts everywhere, gives me money to help my bills but also has a lot of problems hence why we split. Gambling and drugs to name a few! He's been abusive and cheated on me too.
I've finally met someone he's 26, has an amazing job, his own house and car, no kids. Now I feel like I'm not good enough for him?
It's been going on for just over 2 months, he hasn't met ds, but I feel like I have no choice but to end it because I'm not good enough. I don't see why he would want a single mum on minimum wage. 😭
I'm not close to my family and I know if I persue him my ex will stop all my help if he finds out and also be abusive to me.
New guy constantly reassures me, treats me, he's told me he's falling for me but I feel so trapped right now 😪

Have you considered movng your DS to a school within walking distance or easier to get to? It sounds like the school has become a way for your ex to control you and your son because he needs a lift every morning. If your ex is always late this is very bad for your son and will damage his own ability to settle at school and his self confidence. It sounds like your ex is still causing instability and chaos to your life. If the school was more local your son would also have friends closer to you, how old is your son?

Man opinion.

We don't care how much you earn, totally irrelevant.

Single mum will be a problem for some men, not for others. Seemingly not for this guy.
