Hi Ron,

I think you should devote your energy (including thoughts) primarily to your son. Relationships are nice, but I would make a dozen active friendships with your most favorite people where you live. There’s gotta be some, right? Cultivate your neighborhood and your “tribe”. Also, nothing is more attractive to a woman than a guy who’s NOT looking for love! If it happens, great, but don’t lament about it.

Also, you keep bringing up the money situation. Can you get a side hustle? Or get a roommate or stay with friends/family?

And yes, sometimes what we do in life turns out to be “futile”. But life itself is just a series of experiences. That’s all. Enjoy the ride while we’re here!

Best,

Inky
