Broken breeze,

Let me start by saying this: You deserve so much.You do not need to wait for this man, he is not worth your time. Yes, he is the father of your child but that does not mean he has to be anything more than a co parent. I know there were good times and bad- there are in any relationship. However, he is with someone else and has done nothing to prove to you that he wants to be in you or your child’s life(ask your self if you really want a man like that?). YOU DESERVE BETTER. I have found on my own journey, that until I started to create a relationship with my self (not one where I beat myself up) One where I learn to embrace my flaws and love them, did I see how worthy I am to be loved. You are also worthy of a beautiful life and so is your child. Start working on the way you treat your self and your own heart. Forgive your self, you are doing the best you can. You are a strong woman and have a lot to offer. Believe that and it will radiate off of you.

I was born to a teen mother, you are doing what you can to give him a good life. Forget this man and start focusing on your baby. Your son will know he is loved even if he has a nanny. The best gift you can give him, is you being present and healthy. You can do this. Move on and start fresh, you deserve it.

<3 you are loved.

I know you know. It just took many people telling me that I also deserved better to finally let go of a painful relationship. I still struggle, when love is deep it is hard. I am currently getting divorced ( I’m 27) we have been together since I was 18 and the hardest part for me is the same thing….the image of our family in my head. Truth is, 2 years ago I couldn’t picture where I am today, even if I am in a struggle. That has to mean that two years from now, we could both be in an incredible place.I am having to learn to let go of my expectations (they haven’t served me well in fact, they hold me back) Every day I get stronger and so will you.

No kids. My husband is a touring musician (always on the road) I work full time and work my ass off lol. I think I always knew in the back of my mind that he wasn’t capable of loving me the way I needed. I kept making excuses for not having kids because I was afraid to raise them alone. That is why your situation makes my heart ache. Even now, I can’t imagine having kids w/ anyone else, I still picture our little family and babies that look like him. But honestly, I am tired of being treated like a second choice and as I call it “Johnny Cash’s first wife” The one at home alone raising babies while he lives his dream and sleeps with God knows who. It has taken me so long to get to this point but I know I deserve my dreams too. Ugh, life. lol
