I made a wise choice in leaving my ex, and I have settled into being the best parent I am able to be for my son, it’s been a huge learning curve. I do appreciate it’s difficult for others to understand the way I parent my son, but I know I need to do what feels right for me and for my son. Feeling under pressure and constant judgement when with my ex was not helping in any way or form and if anything made my parenting journey alot harder at the time.

I appreciate that not all men are the same, and I’m glad they’re not.. It makes sense to open up to him a bit at a time, and gain a sense of what he is looking for perhaps before I tell him that I have an interest in him as more than a friend.. Although I want to be honest with him so it might be wise to tell him that I have an interest in him as more than a friend..

I would be very grateful for your insight and advice in caring for my son as the more understanding I have of what it feels like or may feel like for my son and ways I might help him (and I) to better manage, the better.
